Invest in Education, Invest in the Future

Arizona’s public schools are the heart of our communities, shaping the future one student at a time. The Arizona Education Foundation believes our schools—and the educators, students, and leaders within them—deserve to shine. Through the generosity of our partners and sponsors, AEF reaches over half a million students, teachers, and principals statewide, providing the recognition, resources, and support they need to thrive. Together, we celebrate excellence in education, uplift those who inspire, and create opportunities that transform lives. With your support, we can continue to honor the brilliance of Arizona’s public schools and ensure they receive the spotlight they deserve. Join us in making a lasting impact—because when schools shine, our entire state shines.
