We support and enrich the education of every child in Lafayette public schools.
From the first day to graduation day, your donation matters! For over four decades, Lafayette Partners In Education (formally Lafayette Arts and Science Foundation) has provided essential funding for Lafayette public schools, directing over $50M since 1980 towards exceptional educational opportunities. This wouldn't be possible without the generosity and commitment of our community.
