The FRIENDS OF PASTEUR SCHOOL DETROIT, formerly The Pasteur Elementary School Alumni Foundation, is a non-profit organization established in 1997 to support the children of Pasteur Elementary School in Detroit with programs, books, field trips, tutors, food and scholarships for post-high school education.
During COVID19 we reached out to over 125 families in need to help them with financial aid, new books, bags of art supplies and a list of resources to help them. Some of these families live miles from Pasteur, but send their children to Pasteur because it is a safer environment.
We Exist Thanks to Your Donations! Your donations helped families during this Pandemic and so much more.
Generous donations from alumni and friends of Pasteur School are what make our programs possible and allow us to enrich the lives of students. During the Pandemic we hand delivered help to these families in the form of Visa gift cards, new books, art supplies and a list of resources to help them. These are families who have experienced great loss and tragedies. Last Christmas we helped 234 families again with Meijer gift cards to help with their holiday.

We also used our funds to purchase 310 new books and 7 tables for the library and many tutoring supplies for our tutors!
