Welcome
The Education Foundation of Millburn-Short Hills was established in 1993 as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. We are dedicated to enhancing the Millburn public school curriculum by providing equipment, technology, programs and staff development that cannot be funded within budget caps.
In 1997, the NJ state legislature enacted
S-1701. Currently, this legislation strictly caps annual school budget increases at 4%. However, the budget
must still cover state and federal mandated programs, and increases in energy and insurance costs (which have
been growing at a rate far exceeding 4%). The Board of Education struggles annually to make difficult budget choices:
maintaining programs, balancing class sizes and retaining excellent teachers.
In this environment, it is very difficult to add new programs and upgrade classroom technology - that is where the Education
Foundation steps in!
The Foundation, which is run entirely by dedicated volunteers, raises funds through generous private donors, membership dues,
grants and fundraising events. Our collective vision is to enhance student learning and arm our students with the tools and
self-confidence to reach their dreams.
The Education Foundation invites you to join us in our pursuit of excellence!
