The mission of
PCEF is to
encourage educational opportunities through
​community collaboration.
For the past 30+ years, the Person County Education Foundation (PCEF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has been dedicated to developing additional sources of revenue to support and enrich the educational experiences and curriculum programs in the schools of Person County. Our support activities include grants to faculty and staff for the enrichment of student programs and scholarships to graduating seniors. PCEF uses tax-deductible gifts to provide funds for opportunities above and beyond the normal operating budget; for example, just since 2016, PCEF has funded almost $25,000 in Teacher mini-grant requests, and over $8,000 in support of field trips and student experiences.
PCEF is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of community and business leaders.  Our organization is dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for our Person County public school students through community collaboration.  We strive year-round to provide resources and enrichment programs that expand the educational experience.  Through community collaboration,  we can provide leadership, advocacy and program resources that increase the education levels of residents to make our community thrive as an attractive place to live, work and do business.  PCEF relies on community support to positively impact the lives of our students.
