About the Loudoun Education Foundation

The Loudoun Education Foundation raises funds to create exceptional learning opportunities for Loudoun's Public School students. Channeling our community's resources to students and teachers, Foundation projects excite our children's curiosity and enhance the quality of the Loudoun County Public Schools.
