PATRON
Dear friends,
In 1975, a small group of dedicated community members came together to form the Piedmont Education Foundation, determined to advance education in our public schools. Within a year, they had raised $5,000 to fund the first prize at the Piedmont Music Festival and award a grant to the Piedmont High School Model UN Club. This golden opportunity was the beginning of an extraordinary community partnership that has since provided tens of millions of dollars to Piedmont schools.
This year, PEF proudly celebrates its 50th anniversary, an occasion to reflect not only on the past twelve months, but also on five decades of generosity, vision, and shared commitment. In these pages, you’ll see snapshots of the past year’s successes alongside historic images (some featuring familiar faces) reminding us of the people and moments that have shaped this remarkable journey.
Last September, we hosted the most successful Harvest Festival carnival in its 26-year history. Together with funds raised from Spring Fling (a tradition dating back to the mid-1990s), these events will help maintain essential counseling services and expand visual and performing arts programs at Beach, Havens, and Wildwood. That same month, we launched our largest annual fundraiser, the Giving Campaign, which brought in an extraordinary $3.6 million. On page 5, you will see the direct impact the Giving Campaign has on every school in the district.
As we look ahead, we do so with deep gratitude for the generations of Piedmonters who have given their time, talent, and treasure to ensure our schools remain exceptional. Thank you for being part of this enduring partnership.
Here’s to the next 50 years of learning, growth, and community.
In partnership and gratitude,
Sara Davison DeVries PEF Board Co-Chair 2024-25

Our Legacy of Support
Founded in 1975, PEF was created to ensure educational excellence for all students in the Piedmont Unified School District. What began with modest grants for enrichment, such as a Teletype receiver and new landscaping for the Middle School, quickly evolved into a vital community institution in response to dramatic changes in school funding.
Photos and quotes from historical Patrons.
When the passage of Proposition 13 in the late 1970s led to severe statewide education budget cuts, PEF mobilized the Piedmont community to fill the gap, granting over $1.5 million across three years to directly support the District’s operating budget. Recognizing that private fundraising alone could not sustain long-term stability, PEF and key community members helped advocate for and secure the District’s first school parcel tax in 1985, cementing our community’s strong commitment to public education.
Over the decades, PEF has continually expanded its role. From launching the all-school Directory in 1987 to establishing the Endowment Fund in 1989, PEF has consistently created tools and strategies to serve both schools and families. In times of crisis, such as the 1991 budget shortfall, PEF stepped in to prevent cuts to core programs and staff. It has also led efforts to modernize our schools—supporting bonds, capital campaigns, technology plans, and districtwide innovation.
In 2009, PEF partnered with the Associated Parent Clubs of Piedmont (APCP) to unify their fundraising efforts under a single Giving Campaign, simplifying the donor experience and strengthening impact. PEF and APCP merged in 2015 to streamline operations and increase efficiency. That same year, PEF hired its first full-time Executive Director, formalized its grant-making practices, and reinforced a transparent partnership with the District.
Today, PEF remains a professionally run nonprofit with deep community roots. Led by a Board of Directors composed of parents and civic leaders, PEF continues to increase revenue, steward community trust, and deliver meaningful impact to Piedmont’s public schools.
From teacher salaries and student programs to innovation and enrichment, PEF helps fund the people and programs that make a difference in our schools.
From 1996: Beach first graders enjoy books, art supplies and posters provided by a PEF grant, highlighting the lives and works of famous artists. Pictured are Alexander Guidici, Matt Modera, Zack Hintze, Sophie Coysh, Marika Makinnen, and Nick Keller. Back row: Meghan Freeman, Rachel Simkover, Emily Sowell, and Peter Modera.
From 1993: Eighth graders Mike Herskowitz and Mandy Gruber research animals on the new CD-ROM station purchased by PEF. “With discs, libraries can store a great deal of information in a limited space.”
From 2003: PHS Juniors Kate Coysh and Claire Neumann read The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, purchased with funds from PEF. “These books are invaluable for their artistic equality and for insights into the history of race-relations in the United States.”
The figures above represents PEF’s unaudited operating revenue and expenses through the end of the fiscal year June 30, 2025. These charts show the funds raised and expenses incurred during the 2024-2025 academic year.
The goal of the grant process is to find the intersection between community priorities and the needs of PUSD. The grant distribution was recommended by the PEF Grants Committee, after reviewing the results of a survey to all families. Allocation of funds is based on enrollment at each school. For more information, including budgeted PUSD numbers, visit PiedmontEdFoundation.org/our-impact/grants-school-support/.
Piedmont Education Foundation is committed to transparency and accountability. Audited financial statements and tax forms are available on our website, PiedmontEdFoundation.org/about/our-mission-and-financials/.

A commitment to Piedmont’s schools
A heartfelt thank you to all our donors for their unwavering support of excellence in public education. Your generosity helps ensure that Piedmont schools can continue to offer outstanding academic programs, dedicated teachers, and enriching opportunities for every student.
We are especially grateful to our Lifetime Donors—those who have contributed $100,000 or more cumulatively to The Giving Campaign and the Endowment. Their bold leadership and visionary commitment have had a lasting impact on generations of students. These extraordinary gifts strengthen the foundation of our public schools and demonstrate a profound belief in the power of education to shape our community’s future.

Spring Fling 2025
Parent Sponsors
For over 28 years, Spring Fling has united the Piedmont elementary school community to support our children’s education. This year’s sold-out Palm Royale Gala, chaired by Monika Moscoso Riddle and Heidi Reinfeld, capped off a fantastic season of events, netting $282,453 for Beach, Havens, and Wildwood. Thanks to this incredible generosity, Spring Fling funds will help maintain essential counseling services and continue to enhance our students’ education through rich visual and performing arts programs. We are deeply grateful to the many volunteers, sponsors, hosts, and families whose support made this achievement possible. To learn more and see pictures from the event, visit PiedmontEdFoundation.org/about/spring-fling/

Honoring our Support Groups
Piedmont’s Support Groups play an essential role in our school community by providing program-specific funding, advocacy, and expertise across the district. We deeply appreciate the dedication of these groups and the impact they make on our schools every day. This year, we would like to highlight two for their outstanding contributions.
Piedmont Arts is committed to fostering awareness, appreciation, and support for the arts in our schools. This year, they granted $20,000 to fund music clinicians and instrument maintenance and repair, helping students access a high-quality music education.
The Wellness Center is a vital hub for student mental health care, offering expert support services and a safe space for students to navigate the emotional challenges of adolescence. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of their support committee, the Center received $100,000 to fund graduate-level interns and practicum therapists, support didactic teaching strategies, and provide essential supplies.
Dress Best For Less
PEF is deeply grateful to the Dress Best for Less team who work tirelessly in support of Piedmont schools.
By donating to or shopping at DBFL, you’re supporting our schools, as a majority of their profits are donated back to PEF. But, DBFL also helps our greater community with additional donations to organizations such as Soccer without Borders, Love Twice, St Vincent de Paul, ReCare and the Alameda Public Defender’s office.
In addition to their donation center, look for monthly drop-offs at Havens, the DBFL drop-box at Mulberry’s and the end-of-the-month $15 bag sales.
Community
Engagement Committee
Connections to our schools don’t end when students graduate. PEF’s Community Engagement Committee is dedicated to fostering meaningful opportunities for community members, especially those without current students in the district, to learn, connect, and engage with the vibrant life of our schools.
We invite you to join us for future events, share your ideas, and help shape our programming. Whether you have an idea for a speaker, want to meet new people, or simply enjoy thoughtful conversation, there’s a place for you. To learn more or get involved, please contact us at info@piedmontedfoundation.org.
