Giving Opportunities

You can have the greatest impact on our local students, families and educators by donating at thepef.org. Donors can also directly impact student success by purchasing the Classroom in a Box, which provides a semester’s worth of school supplies for $215 so an entire classroom of students have access to the supplies they need for learning at school and at home. Additionally, donors can support our students’ college and career dreams by establishing a new scholarship or contributing to an existing one.
