Foundation for public education
In 2009, the Foundation for Public Education Act of 2009 was enacted to allow the Superintendent of Education to establish a public, non-profit corporation separate and apart from the Government of Guam and Guam Department of Education (GDOE). The corporation became the Foundation for Public Education, Inc. (Foundation). The Foundation accepts private gifts, donations, endowments, services in-kind, grants and other money which may be offered in support of GDOE. All such gifts, donations, endowments, services in-kind, grants and other money is to be made in accordance with Guam laws and subject to reasonable conditions.
