September 2017

The New Rochelle Fund for Educational Excellence is entering its 20th Anniversary year and we have some exciting initiatives planned!


Huge thanks to Charles Fazzino and his team for their generous support!
We are excited to invite grant applications from administrators, teachers, parents and students across the New Rochelle public schools! This pilot grantmaking program is intended to supplement an instructional need or enrichment opportunity or subsidize a program/project that might not otherwise happen. Priority will be given to programs that promote active student learning, are innovative and offer students the chance to find their voice and build their self-confidence – as part of our “Year of Creative Expression”.

Please learn more by reading our grant guidelines . Applications can be submitted online .


After a successful exhibit last fall, an art exhibit featuring Jane Zweibel's recent work is currently on view at the Museum of Arts & Culture at New Rochelle High School. The exhibit is open during school hours through October 12th.

Please join us for a reception with the artist on Thursday, September 14th from 7 to 8:30pm.

We had a ton of fun at the New Rochelle Street Fair this past weekend!

We gave out books to many voracious readers who were excited to add new titles to their home libraries. Everyone who stopped by got to hear a preview of our exciting 20th Anniversary plans!
