"PEF turns parent generosity into the music classes, the lab equipment, the counselor my kid can talk to, and the scholarship that changes a senior's life. It's the most direct line from a Peninsula family to a Peninsula classroom."

Why PEF

Three reasons your gift matters

California's per-student funding leaves real gaps. The Peninsula Education Foundation is how our Palos Verdes community closes them.

Every school, every student

Funds are distributed across all 11 PVPUSD schools so every child — from kindergarten to senior year — feels the impact.

Programs, not overhead

A lean volunteer board keeps costs low. Donations flow directly to counselors, teachers, instruments, and labs.

Tax-deductible, locally invested

The Peninsula Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your gift is tax-deductible — and it stays right here on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
