Lafayette Partners in Education

Organization Overview: LPIE is primarily a volunteer organization consisting of a board of directors, volunteers, and a small office team. It is a non-profit 501(c)(3) designated foundation.

As the education foundation of Lafayette, LPIE collaborates with the Acalanes Union High School District and the Lafayette School District to provide direct funding of district programs and to deliver curriculum based programs that enhance education in the local public school while meeting the needs of the districts. Our partnership includes representatives of the district staff and school boards as voting members of the LPIE board as well as other district representatives present for all discussions and decisions. 

Mission: Our mission is to support and enrich the education of every child in the Lafayette public schools. We do this by funding instruction in art, science, music, writing, and social studies. Working directly with the districts (LAFSD/AUHSD) to identify areas for investment in core academics and enrichment, LPIE supports programs and efforts that might otherwise go unfunded.
