Core offering

Fort Lee Education Foundation is a non-profit, volunteer community organization that raises funds through donations, corporate sponsorships, and its annual Tour de Fort Lee cycling event. It then redistributes those funds as educational grants to Fort Lee public schools for innovative programs (music, science, arts, technology, enrichment) and as scholarships to Fort Lee High School graduating seniors. Grants are awarded through an application process reviewed by the foundation's board of trustees.

Product overview

Fort Lee Education Foundation (FLEFNJ) is a non-profit, volunteer community organization established in 2005 that raises funds to support innovative and creative educational programs in the Fort Lee school system.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Regional players

• Foundation for Newark's Future: A New Jersey-based education-focused foundation funding innovative programs in Newark public schools — same regional geography (NJ) and same district-level education grantmaking focus as FLEFNJ, though serving a larger urban district.
• Coastal Community Foundation: A regional community foundation that distributes grants across multiple causes including education within a defined geographic area — comparable to FLEFNJ as a grantmaking nonprofit but serves a broader mission and larger geography (South Carolina coast).

Broad incumbents

• National PTA: National PTA is the largest volunteer-led child advocacy and education-support organization in the U.S., funding classroom programs and enrichment at the school level through parent-led fundraising — conceptually adjacent to FLEFNJ's community-raised enrichment grants, but at vastly larger scale.
• NEA Foundation: NEA Foundation is a national education grantmaking organization funding innovative public school projects and student success programs — overlapping mission with FLEFNJ's classroom enrichment grants, but operating at national scale with institutional backing.
• The Education Foundation of America: Education Foundation of America is a larger, established family foundation that funds education initiatives at a broader regional/national scale, overlapping with FLEFNJ's grantmaking-to-schools mission but operating across multiple districts with a wider portfolio.

Direct peers

• Silicon Valley Education Foundation: SVEF operates a comparable model: a regional education foundation that raises funds through events and corporate sponsorships, then distributes grants and scholarships to local schools for STEM and enrichment programs — directly analogous to FLEFNJ's district-level enrichment grantmaking, just at larger scale.
• San Francisco Education Fund: San Francisco Education Fund mobilizes private donations to fund teacher grants and student scholarships within San Francisco public schools, operating on a near-identical model to FLEFNJ — community fundraising channeled into school-level enrichment grants.
• Boulder Valley Education Foundation: BVEF is a district-specific education foundation that funds innovative classroom projects and scholarships through community donations and fundraising events — same operating model as FLEFNJ (small-dollar grants to teachers and students within a single school district), making it a close peer.
• Public Education Foundation: A district-affiliated public education foundation supporting K-12 schools through community donations, grants, and scholarship programs — directly comparable operating model to FLEFNJ's school-district-focused grantmaking and scholarship pipeline.
• Ventura Education Foundation: Ventura Education Foundation is a community education foundation that funds innovative programs and scholarships in Ventura public schools through donations and events — a strong direct peer given the shared focus on district-level enrichment grants from community-raised funds.
