The Public Education Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization established in 2001, now the Education Foundation of Eagle County (EFEC), has worked in partnership with Eagle County Schools to fund strategic initiatives and programs for quality education in Eagle County.

The purpose of the Education Foundation of Eagle County is to make specific and targeted recommendations to, and to work in conjunction with the Eagle County School district to retain our most qualified teachers, preserve staffing levels, maintain smaller class sizes, conserve and improve one on one teacher-student ratios, and to protect vital programs and curricula that have been or are in danger of being reduced or eliminated.  Our top priority is to maintain an excellent learning experience for students in Eagle County.

We believe there has never been a more critical time to contribute.  A high quality public education system is what Eagle County expects and what our children and community deserve.
