The SF Ed Fund listens to the needs of public schools, mobilizes the wider San Francisco community, and resources schools. By providing more resources, the SF Ed Fund addresses existing opportunity gaps, creating schools where students can thrive academically and social-emotionally and ensuring that the community feels confident in the promise of high-quality public schools.
In the 2024-25 school year, we doubled the number of students meeting grade level expectations with just 5 months of high-impact literacy tutoring, from 24% to 54%.
98% of educators agree that their volunteer made them feel more supported as an educator.
We provided over $3M in resources to students, educators, and schools in 2024-25.
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.
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.
Your gift to the San Francisco Education Fund fuels academic interventions that work, dedicated volunteers supporting classrooms, and essential financial resources for schools.
