What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Serving the nation's sixth largest school district, and since 1983, Broward Education Foundation is addressing the lack of funding for high-quality public education. More than 69% of students enrolled in Broward County Public Schools are on free or reduced meal programs. Many/most of these students lack even the most basic of school supplies. Education beyond high school is a distant dream without scholarships. Teachers are challenged to create curriculum that reaches across an extremely diverse student population and ignites a passion for learning. Most recently, Broward Education Foundation created and led the official Stoneman Douglas Victims' Fund to help the victims' families, survivors and those impacted by horrific tragedy in Parkland, FL on February 14, 2018. Broward Education Foundation raised more than $10.5M in 4.5 months thanks to the compassion, support and generosity from donors near and far.

Our programs

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

"Innovative Teaching- Teacher Grants"

Broward Education Foundation is… …FOSTERING INNOVATIVE TEACHING

Some of the best teaching methods come from the county's best assets- Broward County Public School teachers. Broward Education Foundation fosters innovative teaching in the district with a multi-faceted K-12 "best practices" curriculum development model. Innovative Teacher and IMPACT Grants recognize and reward educators for developing curriculum and modifying existing programs to enhance and increase positive student outcomes. Grant funds awarded to educators are used in the classroom for the benefit of students. The Innovative Teacher Idea Expo annually showcases programs that have made a significant and measurable impact on student outcomes.

"School Supplies"

Broward Education Foundation is…EQUIPPING STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS- Choosing between purchasing school supplies for their children and putting food on the table is an unfortunate reality for many parents. Broward Education Foundation's School Supply Center helps alleviate that burden and assures Title I school teachers, or those with high percentages of children from low-income families, are able to equip these students to succeed. Through the generosity displayed in the back-to-school supply drive; and by corporations, foundation partnerships, grants, and individual donors, Broward Education Foundation's School Supply Center provides for our county's most vulnerable children.

Scholarships

Broward Education Foundation is…STEWARDING SCHOLARSHIPS.

As many of Broward's children look to their future, college can seem a distant dream. But with assistance from Broward Education Foundation, a post-secondary education becomes a reality. Broward Education Foundation awards scholarships primarily based on need, as well as on merit and academic achievement. Thanks to generous donors, qualified seniors pursuing a university, college or vocational education are awarded scholarships ranging from $500 to full four-year Florida Prepaid tuition.

Partners in Education

Broward Education Foundation is...BUILDING COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Broward corporations, businesses and organizations seeking to actively engage in support of public education need look no further. Broward Education Foundation and its Partners in Education program are the go-to resource for businesses that want to positively impact schools, students and teachers.
As the nation's sixth largest school district, Broward County Public Schools rely on the only fundraising and direct support organization dedicated to the success of ALL students and teachers…Broward Education Foundation.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Broward Education Foundation envisions a community where ALL students in Broward County Public Schools graduate with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in life.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

Broward Education Foundation's strategies for helping students in Broward County Public Schools graduate with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in life are as follows:

1. Equipping students for success with school supplies- teachers know best what supplies their students need to complete assignments. Through its generous donors, Broward Education Foundation's school supply center enables Title I teachers to shop for free for their students twice a year.

2. Innovative Teacher Grants- Teachers are challenged to create curriculum that reaches across an extremely diverse student population and ignites a passion for learning. Broward Education Foundation thoroughly vets applications and curriculum results and award-winning curriculum is shared district wide.

3. Scholarships- Through its generous donors, Broward Education Foundation awards scholarships ranging from 4-year tuition awards to cash scholarships of $500. A majority of scholarships are needs-based.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Broward Education Foundation's partners with the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations, has a robust and comprehensive community engagement plan, and in FY18 articulated a 3-year Strategic Plan.

Additionally, Broward Education Foundation proved its capabilities and agility in responding to an unprecedented crisis- the horrific tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018. Broward Education Foundation raised nearly $10M was raised for the victims' families, survivors and those impacted by this senseless violence.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Since 1983, Broward Education Foundation has impacted the lives of countless students in Broward County Public Schools:
$2.6M awarded in Innovative Teacher Grants;$15M in Schools Supplies have been distributed;$15M in Scholarships have been awarded

The need to create, develop and implement innovative curriculum, to equip students with supplies essential for learning, and award scholarships to further education past high school continues to grow as does the population of Broward County Public Schools. Broward Education Foundation currently serves more 300,000 students in 327 schools and education centers.

As Broward County, FL continues to grow, and as poverty levels increase, the need to provide a high-quality education for students is key for long-term community sustainability. The need is great...and striving to meet those needs is Broward Education Foundation.
