100% of this donation will be given back to the Peabody teachers and students to help fund resources and programs that are outside the regular school budget. At the beginning of every school year the teachers are invited to submit an application for a program that will enhance the education of their students. With the donations received, the Foundation funds as many programs as they can. In 2017, 44 of 70 applications were funded by the Peabody Education Foundation.
