Peninsula Education Foundation:
Our community’s most important mission is the education of our children
For 47 years, Peninsula Education Foundation (PEF) has raised vital funds to support an excellent education for all PVPUSD students. With school funding tied to enrollment, community support matters more than ever. We rely on generous contributions from parents and community members to fund the programs and teachers that inspire our students.
PEF’s 2025–26 campaign goal is $2.176 million to support the programs and staff that strengthen PVPUSD students and prepare them for the future.
Every donation impacts the future of our children.
Thank you for investing in education.
