Sponsoring a Named Grant

Each fall, Harrisonburg Education Foundation launches our Innovative Educator Grant opportunity.  Sponsors have the opportunity to support these projects with a Named Grant. For a minimum of $1,000, HEF will select a project in celebration of your business or honor/memory of an individual.  HEF seeks supporters to do an annual gift, multi-year gift or even an endowed fund.  Multi-year grants can be reserved for a specific school or focus area.
