Enriching the future of all SSD students
The Sunnyvale Education Foundation (SEF), a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, brings the community together to make all schools in Sunnyvale School District (SSD) better. SEF works year-round to meet its goals through a mix of corporate and individual fundraising, community partnerships, special events, and public outreach. Here’s how you can help SEF reach its goals:
- Donate. Help us reach our fundraising goal and allow us to do even more to benefit SSD students. It’s the most direct way to help! Contact our fundraising committee with other corporate giving opportunities.
- Recruit. SEF is always on the lookout for school representatives (parent or staff), volunteers who can share timely skills (events, social media, outreach), and community leaders interested in helping SEF connect more of the dots along our path. Learn about current openings.
- Connect. We love to hear about what’s working well in our schools and how we might grow that. Contact us.
