Why We Are
The Pelham Education Foundation seeks to enhance the quality of public education in Pelham with the help of educators, citizens, parents, students, alumni, businesses and foundations. We fund educational programs that are outside the annual school budget and award grants for projects that:
- Strengthen and enrich the curriculum by helping to develop and promote innovative programs.
- Support additional faculty training and resources.
- Provide funding for special school facilities and equipment.
