Historically, funding for public education in the State of Alabama has not been strongly supported and remains uncertain. In the past, the public schools have experienced major funding cuts at the state level. As a result, community-school foundations like the Fairhope Educational Enrichment Foundation are critically important to public schools. FEEF strives to provide enrichment opportunities for Fairhope students and teachers that go beyond the basics and spark interest in life-long learning.
