Since its inception in 1989, the Simi Valley Education Foundation (SVEF) has worked to improve the educational experience for all students in our community. Operating independently from the school district, each year our non-profit organization provides thousands of dollars and resources directly to the Simi Valley schools, teachers and students, through classroom and department/grade level grants and student scholarships. We encourage community-minded businesses, families and individuals to take part in supporting our goals to fund strategies to educate and prepare students for bright and rewarding futures. We have learned that the best teaching methods come from our greatest assets: educators. By doing this we are not only enhancing public education, which is a critical part of the fabric of our community, but creating future assets that will benefit our changing world.
