The purpose of the Education Foundation of Eagle County is to support the creation and delivery of an excellent learning experience for students within the Eagle County public school system by providing funding for tools, technology and staff within Eagle County Schools through public grants and private donations. EFEC raises money for public education in Eagle County via generous donors and the following EFEC events: Project Funway, Evening of Stars, Eagles fore Education, School of Rock, Wild West Day, and a Haunted House. These events raised over $260,000 that went to support nine elementary schools; gave five teachers $15,000 to further their continuing education; and provided $44,000 to the EFEC Academic & Equity and Arts & Music grants that directly impacted the entire Eagle County School District the entire student body for the  2015-2016 school year and beyond.
