Each year, CEF raises over $1,000,000 to
provide direct services and capacity
building initiatives within the CUSD
community. Our generous granters
include state and county agencies, local
businesses and more than one-dozen
local foundations who believe that
Chester’s children deserve a good
education. Since 1994, Chester
Education Foundation has facilitated the
100+ member, Delaware County
Communities That Care Network which
has received state, national and
international recognition for successful
implementation of research-based
prevention strategies, leveraging and
sustaining resources and exceptional
leadership of community collaboration.
