WE BELIEVE…
The Fayette Education Foundation will:
- provide opportunities for individuals, businesses and the community to invest in the educational needs of Fayette County Public Schools;
- support the school district’s commitment to equitable access to opportunities and resources for all students; and
- strive to fulfill unmet educational needs and remove barriers to opportunity.
What does equity mean?
Just and fair inclusion into a society in which all can participate, prosper and reach their full potential.

HISTORY
In early 2020, a group of diverse constituents had a vision for a new iteration of a public school foundation to serve the students of Fayette County. The Fayette Education Foundation was officially re-launched in November of 2020 after months of planning by a grassroots steering committee and is now led by a diverse, community board of directors which includes the superintendent as an ex-officio member. The goal is for the Foundation to serve as a link between the school district and the community soliciting resources– time, talent and treasure – from individuals, businesses, and private foundations and then distributing those resources to promote educational excellence and innovative programs.
