The Pitt County Educational Foundation (PCEF) broadens community support for Pitt County Schools, helping create a model of public education where students thrive, families engage, educators and professional support staff excel, and educational outcomes continuously improve.

Through grants and programs, we proudly invest in the people, ideas, and opportunities that make a difference in our schools. From robotics, STEM, and health sciences to arts education, Tradesformers, staff support, and professional development, PCEF helps bring innovative learning experiences to students and educators across Pitt County.

At the heart of our work are Impact and Innovation grants of up to $1,000, available to teachers and high school students throughout Pitt County Schools. These grants support unique projects that enrich learning, spark curiosity, and expand opportunities within school communities.

Last year, PCEF awarded 44 Impact grants to local teachers and 9 Innovation grants to local high school students. For the 2026–27 school year, our goal is bold: raise more than $50,000 to fuel even more grants, transform educational spaces, and inspire students to reach their full potential.

A gift to the Pitt County Educational Foundation is an investment in the shared future of Pitt County. Together, we can strengthen our schools, empower our educators, and create more opportunities for every student. Together, we are stronger!
