Who We Are:

In 2003 a diverse group of citizens came together to brainstorm ways to elevate the educational experiences of students in the Auburn public schools from average to extraordinary.  As a result, the Auburn Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public foundation, was formed.

What We Do:

Our mission is to provide for innovative programs that enhance the quality of education through extended learning opportunities within the Auburn Enlarged City School District.  Through a grants process, we award funding to educators who have creative ideas that will capture the attention and imagination of their students.  Projects must fall within at least one of the following six areas -- Academics * Arts * Life Skills * Character Education * Physical Education & Wellness * Technology -- but outside of the regular school district budget.

We also work to establish meaningful partnerships among our schools, local businesses, and service organizations which will improve our community.
