About Upper Darby Arts and Education Foundation

Founded in 1998, the Upper Darby Arts & Education Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation. The Foundation has already distributed over $2,000,000 in support through over 900 grants. Operated by an independent Board of Directors, the Foundation does not depend on taxpayers for its funding and operates separately from the school district. UDAEF endeavors to provide funding for programs and projects not funded by the school district budget, including after-school clubs and organizations and community offerings outside the school day educational enrichment programs.

As school budgets tighten, new sources of income have become necessary to continue to provide important programs and services. Many communities across the nation have created educational foundations to support their young people. The Upper Darby Arts & Education Foundation is one of the leading arts and education foundations in the state of Pennsylvania. It is the Foundation’s goal to have a positive impact on every child in our district through the programs we support.
