Overview
Communities for Education (CFEdu) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to reshaping the future of education funding. Through a unique combination of community-driven crowdfunding, sustainable financial planning, and education-linked savings programs, we empower families to build a secure educational path for their children — without platform fees or hidden costs.
Why Communities for Education Stands Out
Zero Platform Fees
Every dollar raised goes directly to the child's educational account — no hidden fees, no deductions.
Verified Custodial Accounts
Funds are deposited only into verified UGMA, UTMA, or 529 savings accounts, ensuring they are used solely for education.
Community Empowerment
Families, friends, mentors, and communities come together to support the educational dreams of children.
Financial Literacy Integration
Beyond fundraising, we equip children with the tools and knowledge to manage money wisely and plan for their futures.
