Our Story

Addressing Systemic Issues in Education

The Fair Education Foundation was created in honor of the life and legacy of Gordon "Sonny" DiRenzo PhD. From humble beginnings and raised by his non-English speaking grandparents, Gordon was able to push past financial and cultural barriers and receive his BA and PhD from the University of Notre Dame. Empowered with his education, Gordon built an academic career in social-psychology, teaching in the United States and Italy, while also authoring numerous books, and helping countless people as a therapist and counselor. His life and the opportunities he created for his family illustrate the lasting and exponential effects that education can have on individuals and their families. Along these lines, the FEF seeks to reduce the various barriers standing in the way of educational equality by supporting greater access to, resources for, and awareness of educational opportunities for less-privileged students and communities.
