Fundraising events like the Prince George Alliance for Education Foundation's Gala Dinner, fall pancake breakfast, and others help raise funds that support the non-profit's mini-grant program and other initiatives aimed at supporting Prince George County Public Schools, its students, and staff. Over the years, the PGAEF has awarded thousands of dollars to teachers, helping provide sensory tools for kindergarten students at North Elementary, stuffed animal sewing kits for Prince George High School Independent Living students, state-of-the-art Blue-Bots for Middle Road Elementary students, and key professional development experiences for teachers.

As we begin the new year and settle into the second semester, The Prince George Alliance for Education Foundation wants to remind everyone that the organization continues to accept applications for mini-grants. The Foundation provides these grants to help Prince George County Public Schools faculty and staff fund projects that may not be part of the school division's budget.
The grant program supports the Foundation's core mission: Every child needs a strong foundation. This funding to PGCPS educators helps deliver engaging lessons and learning experiences to the children of Prince George County.
