Celebrating 50 Years supporting Piedmont’s Public Schools

Since 1975, the Piedmont Education Foundation has worked to ensure that Piedmont’s public schools remain exceptional — today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. As we enter our 50th year of fundraising and community support, our vision remains steadfast: to fund an outstanding public education for every student.

Piedmont’s excellent schools are the cornerstone of our community. They attract families who value high-quality public education and help foster a culture where everyone feels they belong. The schools are why so many of us came here, and the community is why we choose to stay.

But excellence comes at a cost. Year after year, the expenses of delivering a top-tier education increase, while state funding and local parcel taxes remain relatively flat. That’s where PEF steps in.

The Piedmont Education Foundation exists to bridge this gap. Through the generosity of our community, from Giving Campaign donations to Spring Fling events and every fundraiser in between, we provide critical funding that supports a meaningful, well-rounded education for all students. Our volunteer Board of Directors works diligently to ensure every dollar raised is directed toward the greatest needs, with a focus on supporting our incredible teachers and staff.

When you give to PEF, you’re investing in the future of Piedmont’s students — and in the strength of our community.

94% of the funds raised by The Giving Campaign go to teachers and educators.

PEF’s contribution has a direct impact on EVERY classroom in our district. By funding educators, we ensure that every student benefits from dedicated teachers and staff, librarians, visual and performing arts, honors and AP courses, and more, creating a well-rounded and supportive educational experience for all.
