At Rochester Education Foundation, we believe that every child deserves a great education. Our mission is to collaborate with schools and community partners to fill resource gaps and provide meaningful experiences for Rochester City students. Our work has a profound, positive impact on students’ future success. For over twenty years, we’ve provided students with literacy support, opportunities to explore the arts, assistance on the road to college and a career, and so much more. We help over 20,000 students! REF is an independent, not-for-profit organization.
