Congratulations to our President/CEO, Carolyn Krall, who will serve on the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations board again for 2026-2027. For more than 25 years, the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations has worked alongside local education foundations to support students, teachers, and schools across Florida.

We'd like to say a big thank you to our long-time friends at Capital City Bank for their donation to our Tools for Schools satellite store in Keystone Heights. The satellite store allows teachers to receive supplies for their classroom without making the long drive.

THEN VS. NOW
This graphic from 2021 illustrates the significant progress our Tools for Schools program has made! In just five years, we have more than doubled our impact during the back-to-school season.

We extend a special thank you to Garber Automalll for hosting the store, and to The Bailey Group - An NFP Company, our presenting partner. With the support of our community, we will continue to make sure that every student begins the school year confident and ready to learn with the supplies they need!
