Piedmont’s extraordinary schools attract families looking for an exceptional education and create a community interested in building and maintaining a place where everyone belongs. The schools, the heart of our community, are why we are here.

Unfortunately, a great public school education isn’t free. Each year expenses go up while funding from the government, and funds from our community’s generous parcel taxes, remain about the same. That is why PEF is here.

At its core, PEF’s work ensures the District has the funds needed to educate students. Every Giving Campaign donation, every Spring Fling donation, and every fundraiser goes to supporting a meaningful, well-rounded education. When our donors contribute to any of our fundraisers, the intent is to help fund education. We honor that intent. PEF’s volunteer Board of Directors works tirelessly each year to ensure that funds are raised and go toward the areas of greatest priority to the community — supporting our teachers and staff.

We are proud that 94% of funds raised by The Giving Campaign go to teachers and educators.

By funding teachers and student support staff, we can ensure our students’ journey includes librarians, arts, music, honors classes, AP courses, and more. PEF helps to fund the things that make Piedmont schools special.
