The Arcadia Educational Foundation, a non-profit public benefit corporation, is now in the process of incorporating. The purpose of the organization is to provide financial support to the school district. Several other cities in the area have formed similar organizations.
Fundraising efforts (primarily via direct mail solicitation) by the Arcadia Educational Foundation have yielded $45,000 to be used for a new science lab at Arcadia High School and $20,000 to buy mini-computers for Arcadia grade school students.
