About

Our goal: To create meaningful partnerships between our community, businesses, and Clay County public schools by enhancing educational programs that benefit students, families, and teachers.

Practical and Effective Support for Students
As the recognized district-wide education foundation for Clay County School District, we work collaboratively with school leaders to determine how and where private-sector investment and volunteer involvement can have the greatest impact on student success.

Partnerships with Educators

We invest in educators, literacy, and innovation to ensure that public schools in Clay County have the resources they need to prepare students to lead successful, fulfilling lives.

By working directly with schools, we can design programs and provide resources that teachers and students need — and that have a direct impact on success.

Partnerships with the Community

We 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 work with community members and business leaders to discover the skills students need to be successful in the jobs of the future. We discuss local employment opportunities, skills gaps, and career pathways for students after high school. We take all this information to educators to help them develop new lessons, classes, and programs.

“I am proud to be a part of such an amazing organization that serves and supports students and teaches through enriching education, awareness, and sustainably of our communities’ future.”

History

In 1988, education and community leaders established the Clay Education Foundation to support our county’s public schools. For over 30 years, our dedicated team has worked to help teachers provide the best possible education to their students. 

Through the years, we’ve cultivated long-term relationships with both educators and community leaders. Their invaluable feedback has helped us continue to evolve as an organization, adding new programs, events, and partnerships. We are excited to continue to build a stronger community by providing a better public education to each and every student so they are prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
