Illinois Principals Foundation
The Illinois Principals Foundation was originally established to fund research and monographs in the areas of school improvement, educational leadership and the principalship. It has allowed continuing education opportunities for the best principals in Illinois to become mentors and trainers for other principals.   Recently, the Foundation has supported continuing education for IPA members through the John Ourth/Fred Singleton Professional Development Scholarships, the Tom Howard Leadership Symposium, and providing resources to conference attendees.   Additionally, support has been given to Illinois students through the Kids Helping Kids project.  The Illinois Principals Foundation is “Providing resources to strengthen school leadership in Illinois,” and has the following goals:

• Support professional development for school administrators,
