About the Foundation:

Local Education Foundations connect community to classrooms to innovate learning, power potential, and celebrate success. We believe engaged and connected communities lead to teacher and student success. We know our schools and can’t do it alone and our purpose is to foster the investment and involvement it takes for every student to realize their complete potential. 

Organizational Background:

In 1987, members of the business community identified the need to provide homework assistance for low-performing students. Partnering with the school district and the Lake County Education Foundation the founders formed a 501(c)(3) called Dial-A-Teacher. In 1988 the name was changed from Dial-A-Teacher to the Education Foundation of Lake County, Inc. We are a member of the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations.

Who We Serve:

The Education Foundation of Lake County operates for the benefit of students and teachers in Lake County Public Schools. The foundation  programs include: Teacher Classroom Grants, Back to School Backpack Distributions, Take Stock In Children, Teacher of the Year, Rookie Teacher of the Year, Employee and Volunteer of the Year, New Beginnings, and the LCS Science Fair. The foundation holds fundraisers that include: Renaissance Faire, Annual Golf Tournament, Ladies Fore Education. We are the recipient of the State of Florida License Tags Revenue Program and the School District Education Foundation Matching Grant Program.
