Who we are
We turn community generosity into support for the educators driving student success.
Established in 1999, the SACS Education Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of parents, alumni, and local professionals. We build philanthropic partnerships that fund innovative programs, teacher-led grants, and student opportunities across every SACS school.
Every dollar raised stays local. Every grant is decided by neighbors. Every student we reach is one of ours.
