The Pasadena Educational Foundation has received a $1 million donation from the Ballmer Group to assist Pasadena Unified School District families and staff impacted by the Eaton Fire.
The contribution is part of the Ballmers’ broader $15 million emergency relief initiative supporting wildfire recovery efforts across the region.

The Ballmer Group is a philanthropic organization founded in 2015 by Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, and his wife Connie Ballmer.

“The Eaton Fire has devastated our PUSD community—families and staff have lost their homes, belongings, and sense of stability. Thanks to the Ballmer Group’s extraordinary generosity, we
can provide much-needed relief,” said Patrick Conyers, Executive Director of PEF. “This is just the beginning of what will be a long recovery, and PEF is committed to standing with our PUSD community every step of the way.

The donation will be distributed through the PEF Response Fund, established specifically to provide relief to affected community members. PEF, whose board and staff are deeply connected to Altadena, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre, is experiencing the crisis firsthand alongside the community they serve.

The Ballmer Group’s larger relief package provides critical aid to 14 funds and 12 organizations assisting displaced families, first responders, and communities affected by wildfires. PEF was selected as one of the recipient organizations to help PUSD families and staff rebuild and recover.

PUSD families and staff can register for assistance at http://pased.org/fire-aid-reg. To support ongoing recovery efforts, donations to the PEF Response Fund can be made at http://pased.org/responsefund.

Together, we will help each other through this difficult time. Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to support those in need.

PEF, which advocates for public education and develops resources to support excellence and equity for all PUSD students, maintains programs in arts, music, health centers, gardens, and STEM across the district’s schools.
