WHAT DO WE DO?

The Salem Education Foundation (SEF) is a non-profit organization. We are dedicated to promoting community involvement and investment in the public schools of Salem, MA.

  HOW DO WE DO IT? 

1) We award grants to teachers for projects that expand students’ educational experiences across the curriculum. The money comes from our fundraising events and donations.  We typically award over $20,000.00 in grants to teachers for curriculum-enhancing activities. For a full list of grant awards, and instructions to apply for a grant, click on our “Grants” dropdown menu.

2) We organize community volunteer participation in the Salem Public Schools. We rely on volunteerism to make SEF work.  We have no paid staff.  Community members do all of our fundraising and administration, donating their time and expertise. How would you like to help?
