What Is the Children First Education Fund (CFEF)?

The Children First Education Fund (CFEF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit scholarship granting organization (SGO) with one mission:

To put children first by providing educational choice options for students with disabilities.

Through this program, scholarships are available for children in preschool, kindergarten, and grades 1–12. These funds can be used toward:

  • Private school tuition

  • Books and educational materials

  • Supplies

  • Education-related therapies or treatments, including ABA therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and developmental interventions.

Our services include:

  • Play-based ABA therapy for young children with autism and developmental delays (ESDM- early start Denver Model)

  • Early intervention programs, including the JASPER Model

We believe every child deserves the chance to thrive—and every parent deserves support along the way.
