About Education Foundation of Lake County

The Education Foundation of Lake County, Inc. serves as the connection between our community and public education. We evaluate needs, secure resources, and build partnerships that enhance the quality of education for students and educators across Lake County. Founded in 1987 by local business leaders in collaboration with the Lake County School District, the organization began as Dial-A-Teacher, a program created to provide homework assistance and academic support to students facing learning challenges. As community needs evolved, so did our mission. In 1988, the organization became the Education Foundation of Lake County, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, expanding its focus to strengthen public education through broader community investment. Today, the Foundation continues to serve as a vital link between donors, partners, and schools—supporting students and educators through targeted programs and initiatives designed to create meaningful, lasting impact. Originally established in 1987 as the Dial-A-Teacher program in Lake County, Florida, by local business leaders in collaboration with the Lake County School District. The primary objective was to provide homework assistance to students, particularly those facing academic challenges. In 1988, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was renamed the Education Foundation of Lake County, Inc. This rebranding marked a broader commitment to enhancing public education in the community. Today, the foundation continues to serve as a vital link between the community and public education, offering various programs and initiatives to support students and educators throughout Lake County. We are a member of the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations.
