District & Schools Fundraising Support Services
The Pasadena Educational Foundation helps PUSD write grants for initiatives that provide parents and students with a high level of school choice and quality, family and community services, college readiness, and innovative programs. From large Federal Magnet Grants or California College & Career Pathways Grants to smaller grants to fund a ceramics artist or grow a school-community garden, the grants PEF has secured have supported arts, sports and athletics, health, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), college scholarships, teacher training, and many other programs in PUSD.
We provide fundraising and accounting support to nearly every school’s Annual Fund, enabling schools to more efficiently raise community dollars to meet immediate needs. Schools are now raising a collective total of over $1,000,000 in their annual funds.
Public funding for education does not meet every need, and that’s where PEF steps in to bridge the gap. Individual and corporate gifts are a crucial part of the $12 to $15 million that PEF raises for our schools each year. Fundraising efforts are guided by the priorities of the Pasadena Unified School District and our community.
