With your help, we have supported 270,000 students and counting in San Francisco’s public schools over the past 40 years
The theme for the 2023-24 annual report, All In for Educational Excellence, underscores the SF Ed Fund's commitment to rally our community to support San Francisco public schools, especially during a time of significant financial challenges. The San Francisco Education Fund provided nearly $3.7 million in resources to SFUSD in 2023-24, including high-impact tutoring, volunteers, corporate partnerships, and direct financial aid.
Through conversations with school leaders at SFUSD’s highest-benefit schools, the SF Ed Fund surfaced an urgent need for immediate interventions in the midst of the budget crisis: flexibility to foster a student sense of belonging within unique school communities, prioritizing solutions that strengthen academic outcomes, and creative thinking around staffing to provide and retain essential personnel at each school. This SF Ed Fund report, published in April 2025, captures the voices of those closest to the work and highlights both the challenges they face and the bright spots pointing the way forward.
San Francisco’s public schools are at a critical juncture, facing compounding challenges that impact students, educators, and entire school communities. Join the SF Ed Fund on September 25, 2025 for our annual Back-to-School Gala, Voices of Our Schools, to hear the real stories behind the statistics — and to take action. This year’s theme builds on our recent report spotlighting the lived experiences of those on the frontlines: students, educators, and principals in our highest-need schools. Their message is clear: the time for bold, immediate intervention is now. Please consider securing your attendance as a sponsor; your support directly fuels our most effective programs and helps ensure every student in San Francisco has the opportunity to thrive.
