What We Do
The Fauquier Education Foundation (FEF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that creates and funds equitable programs that enhance learning and engage students with diverse populations, cultures, and technologies. We provide financial assistance to teachers and administrators, enabling them to further their professional development by attending conferences, seminars, workshops, and cultural programs.
We support more than 11,000 students and 1,800 educators across 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and one alternative school.
