Support SF-CESS

Help us identify, interrupt and transform inequities in our schools and communities.

Current events in the U.S. demonstrate the urgent need to address socio-political issues related to race and equity; SF-CESS facilitates and trains educators to engage in this courageous discourse. Our mission is “to interrupt and transform current and systemic educational inequities to ensure all students have access to personalized, equitable and high performing schools that believe and demonstrate each student can, should and will succeed.”

Please consider a tax-deductible donation of any amount to support SF-CESS to achieve its mission in its work to help schools, districts and communities develop allies, leaders and programs to identify, interrupt and transform the inequities experienced by our least-reached students and families. Your donation specifically helps…

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment
before beginning to improve the world.”

— Anne Frank
