With your help, we have supported 270,000 students and counting in San Francisco’s public schools over the past 40 years.
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 Spring 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.
The theme for our 2024-25 annual report, Voices of Our Schools, reflects the SF Ed Fund’s commitment to grounding our work in the real needs of San Francisco’s public school communities. Through dozens of interviews with principals and school leaders across our highest-benefit schools, our Voices of Our Schools report confirmed that we are investing in the highest-priority areas where we can make the greatest impact. School leaders told us what’s working, what’s missing, and what they need most right now. In 2024-25, we provided more than $3 million in resources to students, educators, and schools; and we doubled the number of students meeting grade level expectations, from 24% to 54%, in just five months with high-impact tutoring provider Chapter One.
Help inspire the next generation of technology leaders by joining us Dec. 8-12 to volunteer in classrooms for at least one 1-hour shift.
