It is our firm belief that the future of our nation and the future of our youth are one. Only by providing an excellent education for everyone, regardless of race, will our nation continue to prosper.
What does the organization do?
The Southern Education Foundation has a rich and proud history of bringing about positive change for minorities in the South. Our organization was formed in 1937 by the merger of four funds, the earliest of which dates back to 1867. Each fund was committed to developing educational opportunities for minorities and disadvantaged citizens following the Civil War. Today, SEF is funded by an endowment of approximately $14 million and through grants from corporations, foundations and individuals.
As a public charity, we conduct research, convene experts, identify issues and operate programs in conjunction with our partners in philanthropy rather than making grants to other groups. Our work relates to three primary factors that continue to affect educational opportunity: racial inequities, economic inequities and stringent education standards. Each SEF program supports our overall mission of achieving equal educational opportunities for minority students in states where a legacy of racial segregation still exist.
