Mission Statement...
 The mission of the Phoenixville Community Education Foundation (PCEF) is to enhance and support educational opportunities in the Phoenixville Area.

About PCEF...
PCEF is 501(c) (3) tax-exempt, charitable organization. PCEF was founded by the Superintendent of Phoenixville Area Schools in 2002. In 2006, the Department of Community and Economic Development named PCEF an Educational Improvement Organziation for its contributions to "innovative educational programming" within a public school system.

     Through partnerships with the Phoenixville Area School District community, the Phoenixville Community Health Foundation, as well as area businesses, churches, and other organizations, PCEF has successfully delivered on our promise: to help sponsor those educational programs and classroom initiatives that could not be covered by the school district's budget.

     Working with the Phoenixville Area School District, the Phoenixville Community Education Foundation (PCEF) supports many educational initiatives in the Phoenixville area, with particular emphasis on after-school literacy programs at the middle and elementary school levels, summer remedial and enrichment courses, preschool programs, and other engaging activities for Phoenixville students outside the school day/year.  Additional focus includes the “Pack-a Backpack” program for children with financial needs; Scholarships to Graduating Seniors; the Classroom Mini-Grant program; and Channel 27 Phantom TV.

News...
Effective July 1, 2009, PCEF’s new home (both office & Board room) is located at: 120 Main Street on the second floor of the Phoenixville Federal Bank and Trust. Many thanks to Mr. Kunsch for his generosity! PCEF would also like to recognize Chuck Benz and the main street bank staff for being so welcoming during our move, and Chris Caba of the Party Center, who donated a Ryder Truck and provided three strong young men to assist in transporting all the office furniture.

On behalf of the PCEF Board of Trustees, many thanks to all the wonderful people of our  community who made our efforts to support education in the Phoenixville area possible, successful, and so much fun!
