What is FOA?

The mission of The Friends of Oasis Academy, Inc. (FOA) is to provide promotion of, ongoing support of, and maintenance and financial support for Oasis Academy Charter School of Fallon, Nevada. In other words, we are the non-profit parent organization of Oasis Academy.

As the parent organization of Oasis Academy, fundraising will be one of our current objectives as the school year will start in August 2011.

Please click on the "Meet the Board" tab above to learn more about the current board members.

Our first fundraiser will involve a Scrip Program. A Scrip Program allows us to raise money by shopping with gift cards for everyday purchases like food, clothing, and entertainment. Each scrip gift card purchase earns a rebate for our non-profit organization. It's the powerful, "no-selling" fundraiser. While it will take some effort on our part to consciously purchase and remember to use the scrip cards, the benefits to the school are significant and we will be doing something we do anyway - grocery shopping, birthday shopping, etc.

Thank you for your support!

The Board of The Friends of Oasis Academy, Inc.
Samantha Gomes, Katy Loop and Carrie Mingay
