How We Help
We help by seeking out grants and donations from corporations, small business and organizations committed to preserving quality public education. We also work with the school district and Nutley community to fund programs that will prepare our students for an evolving workforce with an increased focus on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). We support and fund opportunities for professional development, technology education and innovative teaching strategies in our classrooms and community. We maintain a strong community presence to highlight the work of the foundation and our donors’ commitment to the community. We also serve as an advocate for the Nutley Public School District and community.
