Memphis Education Fund
The Memphis Education Fund (MEF) was created to enhance educational improvement by providing alignment across sectors of our educational community, which leads to a more integrated, collaborative and accountable approach to improving schools. Back to School should mean the same for all kids. We believe it can. We believe it can by fueling results in three main areas: fueling teachers, schools, and communities. TEACHERS: Place exceptional teachers in every classroom. The strength in our work is in the partnerships and relationships we build with leaders, educators and innovators in Memphis. SCHOOLS: Expand access to high quality seats in great schools. We believe giving parents a choice for the right education for their child is paramount. MEF fuels high quality school options that are not limited by districts, giving parents the greatest number of choices available in Memphis. COMMUNITIES: Empower families and communities with education and advocacy. We believe that by engaging community stakeholders that focus on the needs of the whole child we will stimulate comprehensive conversations for child development and education.
