    The EVSC Foundation and Public Education Foundation are now one entity? Tell Me More!

    The EVSC Foundation is thrilled to share its recent union with the Public Education Foundation (PEF) to continue serving EVSC students and educators. 

    Both foundations have served EVSC, students, educators, families, donors, and the public education community for years, and look forward to pursuing this mission together moving forward. PEF has been a public education pillar in Evansville for over 36 years and a leader in student-centered programs like the Summer Musical, House Project, and Technology Showcase, as well as educator grants. The EVSC Foundation was established in 2008 to support Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation students and educators. It has grown to fund a variety of initiatives like educator innovation grants, whole child student development programs, school assistance funds, and Hangers, a clothing resource for EVSC students.

    We will build on those legacies by creating an inclusive brand that is a catalyst between community and public education. This is a coming together of two outstanding organizations committed to helping students reach their fullest potential, supporting educators, and strengthening our schools. Together, we are stronger!
