A Leader In Education For Over 155 Years
Originally founded in 1867 as the Peabody Fund, the Southern Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by partners and donors committed to advancing equitable education policies and practices that elevate learning for low-income students and students of color in the southern states. Our work is achieved through analyzing and amplifying promising ideas through research, government affairs, civic engagement and leadership development. We develop and disseminate research-based solutions for policymakers and grow the capacity of education leaders and influencers to create systemic change within K-12 and post-secondary education.
