Organizations Filed Purposes:
The Education Foundation of Collier County is an independent not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization whose purpose is to create life-changing learning experiences for every student.
Student Programs:Student programs equip and prepare students for their future learning and career goals. More than 750 students (8th grade through college) are served directly through the programs of the Foundation. The Take Stock in Children Scholarship and Mentoring program and the Champions College & Career Prep program together provide students, primarily first-generation college students, opportunities to gain the skills to be successful in their post-high school education path and employability skills to ensure their success in the future. Additionally, the Foundation serves the broader community of student families through outreach and programming open to the public, embedded within schools, impacting thousands of more students.
Teacher and Educator Programs: Valuing, empowering and supporting teachers and principals to ensure the highest impact learning experiences for every child is fundamental to the mission of the Foundation. The Golden Apple Teacher Recognition program honors and highlights the best practices that are having a positive impact on student learning. The Classroom Grant program provides a way for teachers to gain support from the community for innovative ideas that will provide unique learning experiences for their students. These programs, along with peer-to-peer sharing and community-based learning are providing a framework in which 1000+ educators are engaged with the community through the Foundation.
Community Engagement:Engaging and energizing our community in support of student success is a fundamental goal. There are many opportunities, such as Roundtables, through which the community comes together to support a culture of learning. Volunteer engagement is a key strategy and provides people with more than 950 volunteer experiences annually to support student and teacher success. The Foundation facilitates a collaborative network of more than 60 organizations working together to achieve community-wide goals to support the overall success of students and families, which has resulted in a 7% Free Application for Federal Student Aid completion increase countywide since 2016.
