The mission

What this organization describes

Inspire. Advance. Give.

The mission of the Sonoma Valley Education Foundation is to enrich the student experience by partnering with the Sonoma Valley Unified School District as the primary fundraising and volunteer resource for innovative programs. We focus on results and report to our donors and community. The Sonoma Valley Education Foundation was founded in 1993 by a group of concerned parents and community leaders. Since that time, SVEF has invested over $12 million dollars into the schools. We currently fund programs in Science, Art, Engineering & Technology, Math, Reading, Gardening, Teacher Support and Pre-School.
