Did you know that in the last school year, Educate Fairfax gave nearly $1,400,000 to FCPS through program support, direct grants, and donations to schools? We are the conduit that connects the community to important initiatives in the district that support student achievement, career path development, and gap needs for kids. Our website is a great way to find out how Educate Fairfax works with the school district. 

Educate Fairfax invests in long-term outcomes for FCPS students, whether through gap needs for disadvantaged students, recognition of stellar educators, literacy efforts for the youngest learners, or direct grants to teachers to support work-based learning. We believe that strong schools are the bedrock of a vibrant community.

Your monetary donation will help students achieve their maximum potential and create lasting impact, one child at a time.
