Palos Verdes Peninsula Education Foundation

Our Story

Founded in 1979 by a dedicated group of parents, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Education Foundation (PEF) emerged in response to significant cuts in essential educational programs such as music and physical education. With an initial leadership gift of $50,000 from the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation, PEF has become one of the oldest and most respected education foundations in the nation. For over 45 years, PEF has worked tirelessly to raise funds to maintain, provide, and enhance vital educational programs in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD), addressing the funding gaps created by changes in California State funding.

Impact

Every donation directly shapes the future of our children. PEF ensures that students in the PVPUSD receive an excellent education through essential funding for educational programs.

Why Donate?

A public education may be free, but an excellent education requires additional resources. The state funding is insufficient to maintain high-performing schools. Your support is crucial to providing our children with the best educational opportunities.
