Together, We Invested $1,000,000 In Students in 2024
In 2024, your generosity fueled learning and growth for Sonoma Valley youth through these programs:
Preschool for All: You helped provide high-quality, fully-subsidized preschool for over 100 local children. The state of California began funding this program fully in the fall of 2024.
Student Wellness: You provided free therapy and social-emotional learning groups for 511 students.
Classroom Grants & Academic Support: You funded grants for more than 80 Sonoma Valley teachers, providing educational materials, funding field trips, covering the cost of college application fees for first-generation students, and more.
After-School Enrichment: Your support helped launch the Empowerment Academy, an after-school program for teens. More than 200 teens benefited from life skills workshops, homework help, and peer tutoring.
Ready to Learn Coalition: Your generosity helped provide training in participant-led program design for SVEF and seven youth-serving nonprofit partners. As a result, for the August Red & White Ball, student ambassadors helped SVEF design and market the event.
