The Freehold Borough Educational Foundation is a private, non-profit organization founded in 1999 by a group of civic, educational and business leaders to provide greater community support for our public schools.
The Foundation, managed by a voluntary Board of Trustees, brings value-added opportunities which, due to budgetary constraints, would otherwise not be available to our elementary school children. We are supplementing, not replacing, state aid and local tax funded programs.
FBEF seeks to plant seeds of educational excellence by supporting creative teaching efforts, innovative student development activities, and enhanced community/school partnerships. The Foundation’s sole purpose is to promote and provide educational opportunities for the Freehold Borough School District (FBSD) by raising funds to underwrite innovative programs and projects.
Over time, Freehold Borough Educational Foundation has broadened its capacity by providing a variety of programs throughout the school year for the students.
