At the San Francisco Education Fund, we are driven by a vision for equity in our schools and in our work with one another. We show up each day with courage, candor, vulnerability, empathy, and accountability. We are unafraid to have the tough conversations that will continue to pay dividends for the students and families we work with and for every day. We hope you will join us.

Back-to-School Setup Day

Did you know SFUSD educators have only one paid day to prepare their classrooms for the school year? Our teachers work tirelessly to create a positive and engaging learning environment, but they can’t do it alone. Community support is crucial in helping them succeed. Come help us on August 16, 2024.
