Newburyport Education Foundation
The mission of the Newburyport Education Foundation (NEF) is to generate financial resources and community involvement to enhance education in the Newburyport Public Schools.
Partnerships with businesses and community organizations, fundraisers, and support from the community have made it possible for the NEF to channel much needed philanthropy to the Newburyport Public Schools. The NEF targets projects that have strategic impact across the district. Our current focus areas are a district-wide STEM initiative, update and upgrade of the Newburyport High School Auditorium lighting, sound and rigging, technology enhancements and business partner programming (business partnership grants, student internships, career expos, etc.).
Our Business Partners are an integral part of the success of the NEF. As donors, sponsors, and partners in program collaborations, the thriving Newburyport business community truly makes a difference in the Newburyport Public Schools. Learn how a relationship with the NEF can benefit your business!
