The Fund for Educational Excellence is an independent nonprofit organization working to close the equity and opportunity gaps for all students in Baltimore City Public Schools. We believe that a strong public school system is the foundation for the health and success of Baltimore. Founded in 1984 as Baltimore City’s only education fund, the Fund works as a trusted partner with the school district, students and parents, funders, advocates, and local nonprofits. This unique position allows the Fund to identify educational needs and complex issues, offer honest insight, develop creative solutions, and collaborate with a diverse group of community stakeholders to implement effective change. Our work offers a range of support programs and resources for Baltimore youth from early childhood through post-secondary education.
