The Muscogee Educational Excellence Foundation is the only organization in Columbus whose purpose is improving public education by focusing on innovative and exceptionally effective teachers.
Since 1996, MEEF has awarded and invested over $1.25 million in teachers. That's an investment spent on initiatives directly related to increasing student achievement. That's resources spent on making a difference in our schools and for Muscogee County students.
Since MEEF was established almost 15 years ago we have spent $500,000 in grants awarded to teachers to help with supplies and unique teaching tools in the classroom; $450,000 in awarding and recognizing over 625 of the best teachers in Muscogee County; $100,000 in funding a three-year training project of a National Science Foundation teaching methodology workshop where teacher knowledge showed a gain of 15%, and student pre- and post- test gains found more than a 26% increase in science knowledge!
MEEF will continue to fund promising investments in teachers through awards and training that will have the same effective results in student achievement.
MEEF relies solely on the generosity of this community to achieve this mission and we need your help. We hope you will continue to honor, recognize and reward outstanding teachers teachers who set the standard for excellence in education. Please consider giving to improve the lives and future of the students in our community. Thank you for investing in excellence in our schools.
Together we can be proud of MEEF's unique approach of fostering educational excellence by focusing on teachers. Together, we can make a difference in our schools. Together, we can change lives.
