About Helios Education Foundation

Helios Education Foundation exists to support postsecondary attainment for all students, with a focus on low-income and underrepresented communities in Arizona and Florida. Since inception, and driven by our core beliefs of community, equity, investment, and partnership, we have invested more than $350 million in initiatives to improve third-grade reading, increase college enrollment, and boost postsecondary attainment in both states.
