Happy New Year! No better way to start off the new decade than with great news:

Thanks to you, the NEF Endowment Campaign exceeded our $1 million goal, with $1,056,782 gifted and pledged as of Dec. 31, 2019!

Additionally, our Legacy Circle grew by over $100,000 in promised bequests—further securing the future of this valuable resource.

We are thrilled by the support of our wonderful community and so excited for what this means for public education in Northampton.

With this expanded Endowment, NEF can guarantee larger, multi-year grants to all Northampton public schools forever. Regardless of politics, economics, or school budgets, this fund will be there to ensure that innovative programs grow—and can be sustained—in our schools.

We couldn't wait to share the great news. Stay tuned for a newsletter in the Spring with lots more information about Endowment grants, exciting plans—and a full list of everyone who has contributed to the NEF Endowment since the beginning.

This does not happen without you—thank you!
