Guilford Fund for Education The Guilford Fund for Education is a Donor Advised Fund of The Guilford Foundation; a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. GFFE creates possibilities!

GFFE gives educators and students funding to bring educational ideas and experiences for Guilford youth to life. GFFE was created in 2006 when the founders recognized the need for funding of creative and innovative learning experiences - these projects were proposed by teachers and fell outside of the Board of Education budget. As a partner to Guilford Public Schools (GPS), and other nonprofit organizations that work with the young people of our town, we connect with educators and open doors to novel learning paths and ingenuity in the classroom. Since inception, GFFE has invested $660,000 and counting to benefit Guilford’s youth. Educators are the difference-makers in our children’s lives but they often do not have the money to bring their creative ideas to life- this is where GFFE comes in. GFFE knows learning takes place in many venues which is why we support GPS as well as educators servicing youth through other community non-profits. We also seek to encourage and deepen a community-wide enthusiasm for excellence in education.

Lisa is also a past GFFE grant recipient. Thanks for all you do Lisa to bring creativity to the classroom.

I love teaching because every child deserves to be seen, understood, and believed in, especially on their hardest days.
