Spring Fundraising Campaign
Donate Today! Fly Balloons May 5
Eight years ago, the Pelham Education Foundation began the tradition of the “non-event” fundraiser. No formal gala to attend, no fancy outfit to buy, no need for a baby sitter. Instead, on May 5, our volunteers will decorate the doorsteps of our donors with balloons in a united show of support.
Join your neighbors and rally behind our schools– they are the reason why we are here!
Simply donate online here and we'll arrange for balloons to be delivered to your doorstep on May 5. Click here to see our spring campaign invitation to give.

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.
