- Support additional faculty training and resources.
- Provide funding for special school facilities and equipment.
The Pelham Education Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit and tax exempt organization founded in 1995. Through its fundraising efforts, the Foundation receives tax-deductible contributions from the greater Pelham community, including parents of Pelham students and school district alumni as well as corporate gifts and private or public grants. The Foundation's board is comprised of volunteer members from the community and representatives from the schools.
