Current Investors

PEF is proud to be a partner for strong schools in Hamilton County. Our work is made possible through the generous contributions of community members who share our commitment to excellent public education. If you would like to contribute, please visit our secure donation page.

Our investors are the foundation of the Foundation - they provide support for student success initiatives from kindergarten to college through gifts to the Annual Fund, or strategic support of PEF initiatives.  We are proud to list these names as investors in public education in Hamilton County.  If any listing is incorrect, please accept our sincere apology and contact us so we may correct it.
