… Florida’s local education foundations, which are essential for enriching student experiences, elevating educators, and connecting communities through partnerships with state and national stakeholders.
WE believe…
… every student deserves a strong education experience that empowers them in the classroom and beyond.
WE support…
… Florida’s robust network of local education foundations aligned with nearly every county-wide school district. Collectively, these nonprofits represent 99% of Florida’s 3 million K-12 students, raising more than $100 million annually for locally driven initiatives.
We facilitate investments in classroom innovation, student, and teacher support on a regional, statewide, or programmatic basis, ensuring meaningful impact for every dollar.
Through the School District Education Foundation Matching Grant Program, your contribution can be doubled through the State of Florida — the nation’s only program of its kind.
Our $1 for $1 Match is a proven strategy for increasing private-sector investment and driving innovation in Florida’s classrooms.
Local education foundations work year-round to raise their cash match through corporate and foundation grants, fundraising events and individual contributions.
These locally developed projects focus on one or more of seven priority areas: Literacy, Low Performing Students, Increasing Graduation Rates, Teaching Quality, Career and Technical Education, Student Resiliency, and STEM Education.
Participating education foundations represent 99% of Florida’s K-12 public school students
$81 Million
