What We Do
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.
