Thanks For Your Input
The Pelham Education Foundation would like to thank you for participating in our recent online survey. The survey is now closed. We appreciate your input about our goals and priorities. We are currently summarizing the results and will report back to you soon.
Thank You For Showing Your Support!
Street by street, house by house, you showed your support for our community and for our great schools! On May 7, balloons were flying all over town in recognition of your support of the Pelham Education Foundation. Over the past year, the community’s generosity enabled the Foundation to surpass its campaign goal with broader support than ever.
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.
The Pelham Education Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit and tax exempt organization founded in 1995. Through its fundraising efforts, the Foundation receives tax-deductible contributions from the greater Pelham community, including parents of Pelham students and school district alumni as well as corporate gifts and private or public grants. The Foundation's board is comprised of volunteer members from the community and representatives from the schools.
