About
The Hayward Foundation for Educational Enrichment (HFEE) was created in February 1994. HFEE is operated as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation dedicated to providing grants to enhance and enrich the education of all students of the Hayward Community School District.
A 15-person volunteer board of directors oversees an endowment of more than $1,000,000 and collects directed gifts. One hundred percent of the earnings from the endowment and the directed gifts goes directly to the school district. Almost $500,000 has been granted to the District.
Examples of our previous endowment grants are Smart Boards, an outdoor classroom, specialized equipment for special education students, aquaponics, microscopes, rowers for physical education, and kilns for art students.
The needs of the students in the district continue to grow while sources of funding from the state are decreasing. We encourage businesses and individuals to make tax-deductible gifts that can be directed to specific projects to enhance the educational experience of all students in the Hayward area.
