Hampstead Educational Foundation
Enhancing the Educational Experience of Hampstead's Children

History of Hampstead Educational Foundation -
The Hampstead Educational Foundation was identified as a goal of the 1997 Hampstead School District Strategic Plan. Work started on the foundation during 1998.
In May 1999, HEF incorporated as a New Hampshire non-profit organization. As of August 2000, donations made to HEF are tax-deductible.

To accomplish goals set by the membership, HEF solicits contributions from individuals, groups, grants, foundations, public trusts, corporations, partnerships, and government agencies. HEF establishes priorities for foundation funds outside the normal tax supported programs. Last, HEF Invests, manages, and distributes funds as voted on by the HEF Executive Board.
