Mayor Schaefer’s educational fund still going strong

The origins of the Fund for Educational Excellence date back to 1984, when Baltimore’s then-Mayor William Donald Schaefer requested the creation of an organization that would facilitate public and private partners to uplift Baltimore City Public Schools. From its inception, the Fund has been dedicated to our mission of improving the quality of education in Baltimore, upholding the belief that a thriving public education system is critical to the overall health of our city. Simultaneously, the Fund has evolved to meet the changing needs of Baltimore’s students, educators and families.
