FFEE Initiatives

Welcome to the Fund for Educational Excellence!

Since our founding in 1984 as a partnership of businesses, parents, educators, and community members, the Fund for Educational Excellence has actively advanced our commitment to improving student achievement in Baltimore City.  We believe a strong public school system is critical to the overall health of our community, which is why we keep Baltimore’s children, teachers and principals at the heart of our work.  Everyday, we bring best practices in instruction directly into Baltimore’s schools and classrooms, and then work with the school system to translate these efforts into district-wide strategies, protocols and policies for effective education. 

Updates

On Monday, April 28th, the Fund for Educational Excellence is hosting a conversation and book signing with Bill Milliken, founder of Communities in Schools and author of The Last Dropout: Stop the Epidemic! with special guest Dr. Andrés Alonso, CEO of the Baltimore City Publi School System.   Click here for more information.
