With your help, we have supported 270,000 students and counting in San Francisco’s public schools over the past 40 years.
The 2025–26 Addendum highlights a surge in educator-led initiatives, with 140 applications totaling over $1.14M in requested support for SFUSD’s high-benefit schools. These projects center on three critical pillars: fostering a deep sense of belonging, strengthening academic outcomes, and prioritizing teacher retention.
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.
