We are deeply grateful to Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature for their continued commitment to Florida’s students through the State of Florida's School District Education Foundation Matching Grant Program.

This year’s $7 million appropriation—matched dollar for dollar by local education foundations—will support students in every district across the state. These public-private partnerships fund impactful K-12 programs in STEM and CTE, support for struggling learners,
increased graduation rates, improved teacher quality, and initiatives that build student resiliency, character and life skills.

Thank you for believing in the power of local innovation to improve student outcomes. Consortium of Florida Education Foundations

Clay Electric awards Bradford County Education Foundation with a 20,000 grant! Thank you so much!!!
With Clay Electric’s support through the Bradford County Education Foundation, we have been able to provide programs that have truly made a significant difference in the skills of our students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. The District has shared with us what they would like to provide to promote further gains in science and reading which are needed areas of focus to continue this upward movement.
This means a focus on continuing to promote better reading skills and opportunities to read, and to focus more on engagement in the science area through various “hands on” opportunities.
