Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation

The Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation (CDEF) is a collaborative partner with the California Department of Education, dedicated to improving public education for nearly 6 million students across the state. By creating, resourcing, and implementing solutions, CDEF works to ensure educational equity and access for all children, regardless of their background or circumstances.

CDEF operates through three primary functions: convening communities of practice, advancing innovative model programs, and maximizing private funding to enhance public education efforts. Their commitment to systemic change supports teachers, administrators, and students on their journey toward achievement and well-being in a multicultural and multilingual society.
