About Suffolk Education Foundation 
The mission of the Suffolk Education Foundation is to support Suffolk Public Schools by connecting the 
community’s talents and resources to expand educational opportunities for students and staff. 
With the commitment of the community, our public school students will develop their full potential, 
ensuring that Suffolk will continue to thrive and proper.  A community’s quality of life is directly tied to its 
education system as it prepares tomorrow’s citizen leaders and professionals. 
The SEF was founded in 1993 as a 501(c)3 charitable organization.  Since our beginning, the board has 
been actively developing a variety of fund‐raisers to increase donations. Our hard work ensures that 
students and staff have the ability to receive college scholarships and instructional grants each year, in 
 addition to reaping the benefits of special projects in STEM education, staff development, and more. 
Over the last 22 years, SEF investment assets have grown to more than $600,000. All money raised is 
appropriated to the students and staff of Suffolk Public Schools.  
Over the years, SEF has provided more than $300,000 in scholarships and tuition assistance to help 
students continue their studies after high school.  The Foundation will award $20,000 in scholarships to the 
Class of 2016.  
In addition, SEF has awarded more than $300,000 in instructional grants and professional development. In 
many instances, assistance from SEF is the only way these critical activities are funded. These grants have 
provided field trips, hands‐on science lessons, online reading projects, and much more.  For the 2015‐16 
school year, the Foundation provided close to $22,000 to support classroom projects in eight schools as 
well as a division‐wide elementary summer school expansion, reading program, and Farm Day project. 
This year, the Foundation will host four major fundraising events: 
 State of the Schools Breakfast & Learning Fair  ... October 27, 2015 
 Gala Celebration of the Arts in SPS  ... March 1, 2016
