Our Impact

Every dollar, accountable to a classroom.

Since 1990, the Education Foundation has funded the parts of public education that tax dollars don't reach. Here is exactly what that looks like: the numbers, the schools we serve, and the people behind them.

Across St. Lucie

The district our work supports

Every classroom we fund sits inside St. Lucie Public Schools. These figures describe the district our work helps support; the credit for them belongs to its students, teachers, and schools.

Runners and walkers turned out at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, and proceeds from the morning go straight to next year's Teachers First grants for local classrooms.
