Established in 1991, the Northampton Education Foundation (NEF) is a non-profit organization created to fund projects and programs that expand educational opportunities, foster creativity, and enhance academic experiences in Northampton’s public schools. The NEF also works to broaden community support for our public schools. We support our mission, in large part, by awarding grants for teacher-initiated projects.

The 2022-2023 academic year is off to an exciting start! For the past two and a half pandemic years (like dog years, these seem seven times longer than they actually are), we have remained committed to being as dynamic and flexible as possible in order to fund as many amazing grants as possible.
