Mission Statement:

Falmouth Education Foundation: Celebrating 15 Years of Giving
The Falmouth Education Foundation (FEF)
was founded in 1993 to enhance educational excellence in our town of
Falmouth, Maine. We strive to maintain a balance among academics, athletics,
and the arts and to
promote broad student development in Falmouth.
This year we celebrate granting over $600,000! This milestone may come as a surprise to many of our community members because even though the foundation has been contributing to the educational lives of Falmouth children for over a decade, many residents are unfamiliar with FEF and its mission.
Each year we raise funds through a series of events. In past years we have held the Fall Ball, Community Spelling Bee, Rummage Sale, and Kitchen Tour. A volunteer Board and cadre of volunteers organize and run these events.
Our extraordinary success is because we have:
- An Outstanding School System
- An Engaged and Active Community
- A Generous Local Business Support

Thank You For Celebrating With Us!
On October 3, 2009 we ate, drank, and laughed with
New York Headliner Comedienne Christine O'Leary an raised money with
friends to celebrate the Spirit of FEF!
Although the finals numbers are not in yet, the generosity of our sponsors and community made the night a huge success.
