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.
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.
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.
