Pacifica Education Foundation

The Pacifica Education Foundation (PEF) is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization founded to protect and advance quality education for the children of the Pacifica School District. PEF's mission is to ensure all the children of Pacifica receive a high-quality education in the arts, music and science by providing an equitable and enriching educational experience for all our students at all Pacifica District schools.

We raise money through annual events like the PEFathon Fun Run, Winter Gala, and Donation Week, and through annual giving by community members. In addition, we have applied for grants that fund music, arts, science and technology. All raised funds go towards supporting programs that the State of California eliminated during past funding crises. PEF volunteers work with parents, teachers, the Pacifica School District, and community advisors to identify areas of critical need.
