About

Empowering Cape Schools Through
Innovation and Opportunity

What is CEEF?

Founded in 2002 by dedicated parents, the Cape Elizabeth Education Foundation (CEEF) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to expanding opportunities for Cape teachers and students. By funding initiatives outside the school budget, we empower educators to bring fresh perspectives and innovative programs to all three Cape schools.

Showcasing Our Grants in Action

Putting Ideas into Action

Our grants have fueled projects like:

  • A mural at Pond Cove celebrating Cape Elizabeth’s 250th Anniversary
  • The CEHS Beekeeping Club, fostering hands-on learning about sustainability and science
  • A CEMS All-School Read Along, bringing students and faculty together through a shared literary journey
