Grants
The Naperville Education Foundation was founded in 1992 to
“encourage creativity, innovation, and excellence in our schools –
it’s all about the students!” The Foundation strives to seek financial
and other resources through fund raising and community
partnerships to support program goals. We are focused on
encouraging creativity, providing enriched opportunities for learners,
and assuring that all students have the opportunity to maximize their
individual and collective potential.

Since its founding, the Naperville Education Foundation has
granted community-raised funds to seed innovative and creative
projects that improve the quality of education for the students of
District 203. The committee evaluating the grant requests is made up of representatives from the Foundation, District 203 staff and community. In 2011-2012, NEF has budgeted $60,000 to support grants that correlate to the District 203 curriculum.
