Education Foundation Events

The success of the Education Foundation of Pendleton is built on community donations and teachers creating experiences for their students by submitting grant requests to our foundation.

In 2015, the Education Foundation of Pendleton started an annual fundraiser, Grillin’ for Grants, allowing us to raise additional money to fund more grants each year. We are grateful for our faithful donors throughout the year, as well as those who support and attend the fundraiser each fall.

Requests for grants always exceed available funds, so there is a continual need to raise awareness and money. We hope you can join us at one of our events in support of Pendleton students and teachers.

Grillin’ for Grants!

October 11, 2018 – Pendleton Convention Center

In light of COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to cancel our annual Grillin’ for Grants 2020 fundraiser.  The Education Foundation of Pendleton will continue to support curriculum-based enrichment activities for Pendleton School District students, whatever that may look like in the future.

We are grateful for the supportive people and businesses that make our area unique and look forward to the time that we can all be together again.  Please check back for additional information.”

Art Show

Spring 2019

Each spring, the Education Foundation supports the Annual Pendleton School District Art Show at the Pendleton Convention Center. We serve root beer floats to students, families and community members who attend to enjoy the show.
