What is HEF?

The Holland Public Schools Educational Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation, established in 1984 to provide community and business support for the children of Holland Public Schools. Funds raised are distributed through semi-annual grants to the teachers/staff of Holland Public Schools.

What We Do

Each year, HEF makes it possible for Holland Public School teachers to go beyond conventional budgetary limitations by providing funds for the purchase of supplementary technology, and creative and innovative learning materials and experiences. Every HEF grant awarded must contribute directly to student motivation and learning.

Who We Are

We are a dedicated group of community members, educators, parents and grandparents of HPS students who are committed to making a positive difference in the lives and education of HPS students.
