Together, we are Building The Future,
Brick by Brick, Mind by Mind.
The Why
Like bricks stacking upon bricks, knowledge is built. Children must first learn the “ABCs” to read, and must learn to read to allow them to write, research, and reason. Learning is construction – knowledge building upon knowledge. The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County empowers public education by supplying the builders – the district’s schools and educators – with the essential materials required for the task. From awarding grants to support innovative programs and scholarships to providing necessary school supplies and resources from Red Apple Supplies, the Foundation’s signature program, the Education Foundation plays an integral role in supporting the vital development of over 180,000 students in The School District of Palm Beach County, representing the future of our community.
Our Vision
The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County, in partnership with the generous support of the community and the Foundation’s philanthropic and corporate partners, is building a 32,000 sq. ft. facility that will serve as an education innovation hub, helping ensure high-quality public education by providing equity and access to resources and innovative programming for students and teachers in Palm Beach County. The new building also includes a training facility, offering professional development for teachers and supporting over 100 programs, including the expansion of Red Apple Supplies, a free teacher resource store, equipping teachers with essential resources for their classrooms.
Building Brilliance
We focus on building brilliance by bringing opportunity to students all across Palm Beach County for the next generation of leaders. By equipping teachers to support the dynamic needs of all students, we are ensuring all children have futures defined by limitless possibilities.
Closing Gaps
Our work in closing achievement gaps is done with the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve. We are implementing varied strategies to actively remove barriers and build bridges for the success of every learner.
Providing Support
By providing support and removing barriers to create access to essential supplies and resources, we can continue to increase opportunities for every student.
BY THE NUMBERS
Thanks to the materials the Education Foundation provides, I will be able to better teach the students and they will be better prepared to learn.
“If it wasn't for the Education Foundation, and community partnerships, I wouldn't have the supplies to help my students. The supplies I will utilize to help my students with different reading strategies and resources that will keep them engaged and eager to learn.”
“The Education Foundation is a teacher's gem! Their support never waivers, and I can always rely on this program to support me with the tools that I need to do my job effectively. Teaching at a Title 1 school comes with the challenges of parents not being able to afford school supplies. Thank you for lifting that burden.”
“Providing students the proper tools necessary to build success is the key to supplying the world with productive citizens. Thank you for providing the necessary tools.”
