When we fund teachers, we fund possibilities.
The Lucille Hunter Foundation supports Hunter Magnet Elementary School by providing funding for teacher positions, teacher development, and related needs that are not funded by North Carolina or Wake County and cannot be funded by the PTA. The Foundation is a 501c(3) non-profit organization which relies on your financial support to address critical funding gaps in education.
