2019 Impact Report

Because of You

Over 80% of Sonoma Valley children — more than 4,000 students — attend our public schools. With learning styles as diverse as their backgrounds, these students represent benefits and challenges to our educational system. At SVEF, we bolster the future of these students by investing in innovative and high-impact programs at every grade level from preschool to high school.  
​​
From district-wide programs to individual classroom initiatives, the Sonoma Valley Education Foundation (SVEF) has invested more than $17 million in innovative school programs since our founding in1993. Realizing and sustaining a vision of what our Sonoma Valley schools can be, and what our students can achieve, is both a challenge and an opportunity facing our Sonoma Valley community. But you can be sure that when the people of Sonoma Valley join together — as you have been doing for over 25 years — our schools will continue to have a positive impact on students’ lives!

Students Benefit from these Vital Programs

In the 2018-19 school year, we invested more than $1 million in five key programs and other school support, including 
  • Preschool for All
  • ViVO music and youth development program
  • Summer Literacy Academy for elementary school students
  • Social-emotional support for high school students through Freshman Teams
  • College and career readiness with Sonoma Valley High School’s Engineering, Design and Technology Academy.
