What We Do
The Fauquier Education Foundation (FEF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that creates and funds equitable programs that enhance learning and engage students with diverse populations, cultures, and technologies. We provide financial assistance to teachers and administrators, enabling them to further their professional development by attending conferences, seminars, workshops, and cultural programs.
FEF supports more than 11,000 students and 1,800 educators across 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and one alternative school. We're dedicated to creating innovative programs and cultivating partnerships with local and regional corporations, foundations, and individual donors to better serve our public schools.
The Fauquier Education Foundation's programs and services are designed to meet the varying needs of all students, educators, and the Fauquier County Public Schools' community. We do not discriminate against any individual based on race, religion, color, gender, national origin, disability, or any other basis prohibited by law.
