ABOUT

The Foundation is an organization comprised of a cross-section of community members established in 1994 to provide support and enriching programs to Essex Fells’ public-school education. 

Following cuts to state aid and state-imposed limits on the annual school budget, the Essex Fells community rallied to continue the legacy of educational excellence at the Essex Fells School, by fundraising for essential programs and resources that fell beyond state mandates. The founding members consisted not only of parents of school-age children, but also of town leaders, Essex Fells School alumni, senior citizens and many other residents who wished to preserve the excellence of our school.

Since its inception, the Foundation has made grants in excess of $1,000,000 to the Essex Fells School. From technology to cultural arts to teacher development, the Foundation has played an integral role in preserving the quality of an Essex Fells School education.
