Grants Pledge Drive 2025

Please help us in supporting York County public schools and preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s world by participating in the York Foundation for Public Education (YFPE) Grants Pledge Drive.  

The mission of YFPE is to “support public education in York County by developing resources to encourage educational innovation, promote and recognize excellence, and address the needs of students, faculty and staff of the York County School Division.”

The YFPE Grants Pledge Drive has two programs you can support:  

  •  Innovative Instructional Grants - encourage innovative, creative approaches that enhance student learning in classroom instruction. Grants are awarded during the Fall and Spring semesters.  You can focus donations on art, music, reading, or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).  Donations may also be applied to all school levels or specific age levels (elementary, middle school, and high school) - It’s your choice!
  • Student Resource Development Grants - support student participation in national competitions and conferences (academic, science, leadership, or vocational), vocational training, or summer school programs.  Donations may be focused on all or, if specified, any of these areas.

Our Pledge Request is for $500, $750, or $1,000 annually for 3 years.
