Carmel Education Foundation launches annual giving campaign to benefit every Carmel Clay student
The Carmel Education Foundation (CEF) is launching its annual campaign, “Share the Love. Shape the Future,” a powerful initiative designed to ensure every student in Carmel Clay Schools has access to resources that inspire learning, innovation, and success.
As the only organization that supports every school, every grade, and every student in the district, CEF serves as the common thread weaving together the entire Carmel Clay Schools community. Whether through classroom grants that bring learning to life, scholarships that fuel students’ dreams, or programs that prepare students for the future, CEF provides the critical support that makes a difference every day.
“Our goal is bold – to impact every grade at every school over the next three years,” CEF Executive Director Jennifer Penix said. “This campaign makes that possible. Whether you have a child in school today, are grateful for the education your children received, or simply believe in the power of education, we invite you to be part of this movement.”
