Where your gift goes
Three programs, one goal: excellent public schools for every child in the Lake Pend Oreille School District.
Teacher Grants
Teachers propose innovative classroom projects; PAFE funds the best of them every year — from residential carpentry to collaborative math classrooms.
READY! for Kindergarten
Free workshops and take-home materials that help parents prepare their children to start school ready to learn and read.
The Endowment
A permanent fund of about $5 million that covers PAFE’s overhead — which is why 100% of your gift reaches classrooms.
