GRANT APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED
Supporting big ideas for Vacaville students & teachers since 2003.
The Vacaville Public Education Foundation (VPEF) is a non-profit volunteer organization that bridges gaps for students in the Vacaville Unified School District. We fund enrichment opportunities that enhance and expand learning experiences for students. Since 2003, VPEF has raised and donated over $4,100,000 to our local schools.

Loop the Lagoon
The 21st Annual Loop the Lagoon was a huge success! Thank you to Fleet Feet, our volunteers and all of the participants for making this such a wonderful event!
GROW. SUPPORT. PREPARE.
GROW the Endowment
Simply put, an endowment is meant to be a lasting resource to support local education. Part of VPEF’s goal is to continue to grow the principal of our endowment, so we can do what we truly love which is to support big ideas in education through grants.
Endowment Progress
SUPPORT Big Ideas Through Grants
This year (2021/2022), we intend to give $50,000 or 4% of the endowment away for individuals, schools, teachers or groups that desire to bridge a “gap” (a need) in the Vacaville Unified School District.
PREPARE for Rainy Days
VPEF was founded on saving programs in financial crisis. We see ourselves as not only a resource but a lifeline for crucial education programs if and when their viability is in jeopardy.
“During covid, having Freckle Education as an online platform was a saving grace.”
Mrs. Lola Kraft, Teacher @ Orchard Elementary School
