In October 1984, the Forest Hills Educational Foundation was incorporated  for the benefit of students enrolled in Forest Hills Public Schools. The Foundation responds to the need for special funding to support creative and progressive educational programs not currently provided through the school district's operating budget.  Funds donated from individuals, corporations, foundations and government sources are used to make grants which further teaching, learning and services within  Forest Hills Public Schools. 

Teachers and students have received financial support to develop new educational learning ideas.  Previous grants have been awarded for wide-ranging purposes, from computer software purchases to the Writing Assessment Program.  Also, the Foundation has sponsored guest speakers and artists, who otherwise would have been difficult to secure. 

To provide funding for core areas of academic excellence in
Forest Hills Public Schools

Grants are made to programs and activities which are determined to be above and beyond the normal school budget.  Programs and activities supported by the Foundation must be identified directly or indirectly with the school curriculum.

The Forest Hills Educational Foundation is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a Board of Trustees.  Members raise funds, manage assets and determine which grant applications are to be funded.  Gifts to the Foundation are invested to ensure maximum income and appreciation.
