The St. Lucie County Education Foundation advances K-12 public education in St. Lucie County by increasing the capacity and resources of the district in partnership with key stakeholders.

Our local Education Foundation serves as the conduit for private sector investment and community involvement in our public schools.

The SLC Education Foundation serves as the primary link between local education and regional, statewide and national donors.

The SLC Education Foundation leverages these relationships for the benefit of local education, creating partnerships with businesses and organizations that impact students in the classroom and strengthen cooperation between the private sector and our public schools.

In 1984, the Florida Legislature passed a law allowing school districts to create local education foundations to raise private funds for programs to support students, teachers and public schools in their respective districts. In 1990, the St. Lucie County Education Foundation was organized as a direct support organization of the St. Lucie County School Board.

Out of 67 school districts, there are currently 60 local education foundations across the state and 55 are members of the Consortium of Florida Education Foundation.

More than 1,100 community leaders serve on local education foundation boards with 73% of these volunteers from the private sector.

Our education foundation shares in increasing businesses and community interest, involvement and investment in our public schools as a strategy for increasing student achievement.

As a 501c3 public non-profit corporation, the SLC Education Foundation is guided by specific bylaws and governed by an Executive Board of Directors.
