Our Mission
To aid the district in it’s pursuit of excellence in education by generating and distributing private funds that will provide opportunities for innovative programs and projects.
Our Beginning
The Putnam Valley Education Foundation (PVEF) was established in 2003 by a group of community volunteers who hoped to augment the educational opportunities in the Putnam Valley Central School District.
How We Work
Each year the funds raised by the PVEF are used for educationally sound programs and projects that cannot be funded by the district budget. Each spring, school administrators, teachers, and parents or students with the support of their building administrator, are encouraged to submit grant applications. The Foundation’s Grant Committee reviews these applications and determines how best to allocate funds based upon each applications overall value to the district.
If you wish to make a donation, apply for a grant, or join our organization please refer to our list above or Write to: or Email PVEF is an independent
not for profit, 501(c)(3) organization |
Events
We raise funds for
grants through
two events each year.

| "The
sustainability of any school foundation, whether it be Harvard or
Putnam Valley, is dependent upon the financial commitment of its alumni.
While large, individual gifts are often given the most press, it is
the annual commitment of former students that serve as the financial
backbone of any school foundation." Dr. Marc Space Superintendent of Schools |
