When our public schools succeed, the whole community benefits. When schools thrive, our property values rise, safety improves, and our future workforce is stronger. The Fayette Education Foundation is an independent nonprofit – that raises private funds to ensure our public schools, educators, and students have the resources they need. The Foundation is proud to partner closely with Fayette County Public Schools – though fundraising and grants are driven by private donations and community priorities.
Giving to The Fayette Education Foundation means your dollars go straight into local classrooms – for teacher grants, classroom supplies, student supports – the things that make teaching better and learning stronger.
The Foundation exists because our public schools can’t do it alone.
In April 2021, The Fayette Education Foundation board of directors approved its first-ever strategic plan. All programmatic decisions, investments and opportunities will align with the FCPS strategic plan as well as incorporate one or more of the components from The Portrait of a Fayette County Graduate. The intention is to be in step with the needs of the district and serve as an additional layer of accountability to the public. The Foundation will cooperate closely to determine the needs of the district and how the resources provided by the Foundation can best be spent to address these needs.
