We are excited to announce that the Education Foundation of Eagle County has WON Vail Daily’s Best of Vail Valley 2025 in four categories!
Thank you, Vail Valley community, for voting for us and showing your support for public education, our students, teachers, and educators, and for building a strong foundation for our Eagle County community.
EFEC: Voted Best Nonprofit
EFEC’s nonprofit services champion public education as the cornerstone of a thriving community. We empower educators with Classroom Grants, Educator Scholarships, Apple Awards, and more, while funding student enrichment in STEM, arts, athletics, and mental health programs. By bridging gaps in funding and opportunity, EFEC ensures every student can thrive and every educator feels valued and supported.
EFEC: Voted Best Community Outreach
EFEC’s community outreach brings people together to strengthen and celebrate public education. Through events like Project Funway, our summer camps, and Wild West Day, we unite families, local businesses, and civic partners in support of our students and educators. These gatherings not only raise critical funds but also build the shared pride, connection, and commitment that make Eagle County’s schools and community thrive.
EFEC's Project Funway
Voted Best Event
EFEC’s Project Funway astounds and delights audiences of all ages! Imaginative, brilliant, one-of-a-kind fashion designs of "anything-but-fabric" parade the runway in this unique fundraising event. The show celebrates and supports creativity, art, and design.
This event raises money to support the Education Foundation of Eagle County across all areas of its mission, helping Eagle County students, teachers, and schools.
EFEC's Music & Arts Camp Voted Best Summer Camp!
