Hopkins Education Foundation (HEF) is a nonprofit funded by those who want the best for Hopkins Public Schools. We partner with the district to provide grants that directly fund educational opportunities proposed by our teachers and students. By nurturing curiosity, diversity of thinking, and love of learning within our schools, we create better outcomes for our community.
HEF supports the district through annual Special Projects, spring and fall Spark Grants to teachers and staff, and student club Awesome Fund grants.
Since 1995, the Hopkins Education Foundation has partnered with the Hopkins Public Schools community and awarded $4 million districtwide to enrich all students with new learning experiences and resources. HEF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Read our annual report to learn more about our foundation.
