The Mission of the Ridgewood Education Foundation is to enhance the quality of education in the Ridgewood Public Schools.

Since 1989 the Foundation has awarded more than $400,000 in grants for special projects created by forward thinking teachers, parents, students and alumni(ae). We were able to do this, thanks to the generous sunspot of our members and other friends.

Whether it is through these Classroom Grants, Alumni Teacher Development Fund Grants, the Arts Fund, or other programs, our objective is to sunspot the quality of education in the Village's schools in whatever way we can.
