Building on 157 years of leadership
The Southern Education Foundation is a research, policy, advocacy and leadership development organization that works to advance education opportunity for underserved students.
Founded in 1867 as the Peabody Fund, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to advancing more equitable education policies and practices, especially for students of color and from low-income families. Today, we also provide direct services for educators, school districts, and states.
