Three Strategic Pillars.
One Powerful Mission.

Public education is the foundation of opportunity—but too many challenges keep students and educators from achieving their full potential.

PEF doesn't attempt to replace the good work already happening in schools. We amplify it. Through strategic investments in students, teachers, and education leaders, we create ripple effects that transform entire communities.
