The Fulton Education Foundation (FEF) has served the employees and students of the Fulton County School System since December 1986. The Foundation's broad-based community support brings enriched opportunities to Fulton's 85,000+ students and 10,000 employees. Led by a dynamic group of business and community volunteers, the FEF Board of Directors supports the school system's belief that students come first. FEF is noted for programs such as Teacher Grants, the Employee and Partnership of the Year Luncheon and the Retiree Reception. FEF also functions as a clearinghouse for financial and inkind resources. FEF projects are aligned to the system's Balanced Scorecard and focused on objectives for student achievement, stakeholder involvement and satisfaction and improvement of system pro,cesses. As one example of FEF's work, since the onset of the Teacher Grants, more than 1,200 teachers have received more than $2,000,000 for innovative classroom projects.

FEF is proud of its partnership with the school system investing in education-- building collaborative relationships, developing new resources, and strengthening the link between schools and the extended community.
