Annual Fund

The Snohomish Education Foundation (SEF) Annual Fund is a key initiative that supports a wide range of programs aimed at enriching the educational experiences of students in the Snohomish School District. Each year, the Annual Fund provides critical financial support for several district-wide programs, with a focus on summer educational opportunities, student recovery initiatives, and essential services.

2025 Summer Program Funding

In 2025, the SEF Annual Fund provided $78,000 to support several summer programs designed to help students stay on track academically and prepare for future success. These programs include:

• Summer Academy: This is a K-6 summer school and summer camp program designed to support students that would benefit from staying connected to the schools during the summer and to help them get a “leg up” going into the year ahead.
• Credit Recovery: A program offering students the chance to earn high school credits during the summer, ensuring they can meet graduation requirements on time. The SEF has historically supported this initiative as a way to help students avoid falling behind and ensures they can remain on track for graduation.
• Library Operations: Funding also supports summer access to library resources, allowing students to continue learning, exploring, and engaging with educational materials during the break.

Historical Contributions

Since its inception, SEF has been committed to investing in the educational success of Snohomish students. The Foundation’s Annual Fund has provided consistent financial support for essential summer programs and other initiatives. Over the years, SEF has contributed more than $3 million to programs like these, demonstrating a long-term commitment to enhancing educational outcomes across the district.

Broader Impact of the Annual Fund

Beyond summer programs, SEF’s Annual Fund also supports various initiatives aimed at improving the learning environment for students, including classroom grants, scholarships, and services such as Operation School Bell, which provides clothing and supplies for students in need.

The SEF Annual Fund continues to be a cornerstone of community-driven efforts to provide students with the resources they need to thrive, both during the school year and over the summer.
