David Pickler and Pickler Wealth Advisors have funded 100% of the administrative and operational costs of the American Public Education Foundation.
100% of the funds donated have gone toward programs centered around providing high-quality public education for our nation's students.
"The public school is at once the symbol of our democracy and the most pervasive means for promoting our common destiny."
Chief Justice Felix Frankfurter
Advisory Board
The American Public Education Foundation Advisory Board is a hand-selected group of public education advocates and super stars who share the same passion regarding public education and preparing the 50 million children of America’s public schools.
The purpose of this board is to broaden our foundation's perspective, deepen our knowledge, embrace diversity of thought, and better reflect all of America.
