About Education Funding Partners

Education Funding Partners (EFP) is the only national-scope, social enterprise that provides Fortune 500 corporate marketing sponsorships exclusively for major public school districts. EFP serves as an agent on behalf of districts and sponsors to secure high-value, education-friendly, multi-year company sponsorships in U.S. public school settings. EFP’s nation-wide program is streamlined for districts and scalable for sponsors, providing a real and sustainable solution to the public education funding crisis.

Education Funding Partners’ sponsorships enhance the school environment and add to the learning experience with tasteful, high-quality, and professionally-integrated branding, naming, and signage elements that reflect well on the districts’ intent to build sustainable, appropriate alternate revenue streams. All sponsorships are approved by the district and stay out of the classroom and curricula.

We became a B Corp to prove that businesses can “do well by doing good.” EFP is committed to using the power of business to solve social problems and to consider the needs of all EFP stakeholders, including students, school districts, parents, teachers, administration, communities, and sponsoring companies.

Education Funding Partners' management team has more than 35 years of combined experience working with school districts nationwide and over 100 years of combined experience working with Fortune 500 companies developing marketing and advertising campaigns.

The Change We Seek®

America’s public schools are in economic crisis: tax revenues and public reserves are declining. Eighteen states cut spending for K-12 instruction in fiscal year 2011 by $1.8 billion. Proposed cuts for the next fiscal year are much steeper: They total $2.5 billion for K-12 schools. EFP has a stewardship mentality about public education. There is economic urgency in supporting American public schools and we believe EFP’s Program can play a significant part of the financial solution.

Our vision is to enable sustainable corporate funding of the American public education system which is facing extraordinary economic hardship. Our mission is to bring education-friendly, nationally-respected corporate branding and naming sponsorships into public schools. Our goal is bold: EFP intends to bring $100 million of sustainable, annual unrestricted cash to major public school Districts by 2015.
