Our story
about us
Over the past 25 years, HEF has played a vital role in meeting the educational needs of our community’s children. As a foundation, we do more than just provide additional funding for public education — we are innovators working in partnership with parents, teachers and administrators, continually identifying and developing initiatives that improve school performance and student achievement.
Our program and funding priorities focus on implementing research-based initiatives that enhance learning in the classroom, create best practices and complement school improvement plans. We support all schools in Henrico County, working to provide every student the resources they need for success. Our funding priorities provide substantive opportunities to improve academic and co- curricular excellence for all.
