The Henrico Education Foundation (HEF) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit working in partnership with Henrico County Public Schools to serve nearly 50,000 students across 75 schools. We go beyond funding by fostering innovative programs that transform education and lead to student success. Our strong ties with Henrico schools and communities enable us to create impactful initiatives that address the opportunity gap and provide essential resources for teachers and vulnerable students.

At HEF, we believe in the power of innovation and creativity to ignite educational advancement. Our vision extends beyond academic achievement to prepare every student for success in life. By equipping students with critical thinking, problem-solving skills, resilience, and adaptability, we ensure they are “LifeReady” for an ever-changing society. We are proud to be the largest education foundation in Virginia, working tirelessly to provide all students with the resources and support they need to thrive.

Together, we can empower the next generation of thinkers and doers to make a difference in their communities and beyond.
