Background
The Norwalk Education Foundation (NEF) has been
providing funding for educational initiatives for 15 years.
Started by a group of parents who wanted to bring in
corporate dollars to help the schools, NEF was formed as
a 501(c)3 charity so donations could be tax exempt.
Over the years, NEF has transformed into a foundation
whose focus is on educational excellence, teacher
quality and supporting educational initiatives to improve
achievement for all students.
What Can Norwalk do to
Transform Education?
A successful school district depends on all of us.
High-performing public schools are essential for our children to
flourish. Preparing them for college and career is our number
one priority. It is critical for their future and for the future of
Norwalk. NEF believes that systemic, sustainable change can best
be achieved when the entire community - businesses, parents,
educators, support organizations, and local policy makers - work
together in partnership with the school system.
Our work also includes collaborations with community
partnerships. These groups bring together
representatives from local nonprofits whose mission is to
effect purposeful change for Norwalk children.
