Friends of Peirce (FOP) a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting  Helen C. Peirce School of International Studies in Chicago’s Edgewater community. We are parents & guardians, neighbors & business owners, alumni & community members to raise funds for our school. The need is great. 

Chicago Public Schools allocates a certain amount of money to each school in the district and does not cover some of the programs & improvements we enjoy at Peirce. Programs that are important for enhancing academic excellence and improving the student experience such as:

•  Arts Partnerships
  Every grade level gets to work with an arts organization such as Raven Theatre, Black Ensemble Theatre, Playmakers Lab and more.
• Field Trip support
  This funding will ensure that students who cannot afford field trip fees can go on these trips.
• Teacher Stipends
  We provide up to $150 per teacher upon request to cover materials for their classrooms.
• And More.

With your help Friends of Peirce can that gap.
