Support the Educators Who Shape Jacksonville’s Future

Every day in Duval County classrooms, educators are helping students discover their strengths, build new skills, and imagine what’s possible. When teachers are supported, students thrive, and entire communities grow stronger. That’s why the Jacksonville Public Education Fund invests in the people at the center of student success: educators.

Your donation helps JPEF provide the resources, training, and recognition teachers need to do their best work—while also producing the research that guides smarter decisions for students and schools across our community.

How Your Gift Makes an Impact

Your support helps JPEF:

• Invest in educator leadership through programs like the Teacher Leadership Initiative and School Leadership Initiative.

• Fund classroom projects that give students hands-on, engaging learning experiences.

• Celebrate outstanding educators through the EDDY Awards, shining a spotlight on excellence across the district.

• Conduct and share research that brings clarity to the biggest challenges facing Duval County students and helps leaders, schools, and partners focus on what works.

• Bring the community together around data, partnerships, and solutions that improve student outcomes.

Why Research Matters

JPEF is known for its independent, local research that examines issues like literacy, student achievement, and opportunity gaps. This work gives the community a shared understanding of the challenges students face and the progress being made.

But research alone isn’t enough. JPEF connects insights to action, supporting educators with the tools, training, and resources that help students succeed in the classroom every day.

Why It Matters

Strong schools depend on strong educators, and strong decisions depend on clear, reliable information. When teachers have the support they deserve, and the community has the research it needs, students benefit.

Your gift helps power both: the people doing the work in classrooms and the research that guides the path forward.

Be the Bridge

By giving to JPEF, you are helping connect research to action, educators to opportunity, and students to brighter futures.
