Soar into Excellence

During the Covid “recess”, your donations helped us to fund over $40K in materials to support distance learning. It was our goal to help teachers and students have the books and manipulatives that were necessary to offset the one -dimensional experience of teaching and learning on a screen.

We are proud of the support we gave through your donations. The teachers, schools, and their projects are listed on our website to give you an idea of what was accomplished. (haywarded.org/projects)

Soon, teachers and students will need the opportunity to lift off and soar into excellence...to leave behind the constraints of distance learning and to collaborate with each other in project learning and problem solving.

And that’s where you come in! Hayward Education Foundation can only give what it receives from its donors. Our success is based on the generous donations that we receive from you. Together we can help launch our teachers and students, who are all returning to in-person classes this September, after 18 months of separation.

Our goal for 2021-2022, is to raise money to give our teachers more tools and resources that will expand lessons and capture students’ imaginations. With your help, we can put more innovative projects and tools into Hayward classrooms. A majority of Hayward’s student population comes from highly disadvantaged families. These students are most at risk and have the highest need, especially compared to other school districts. That is why your partnership is invaluable to us. We want to do more for these students, so they can have the same opportunities to be engaged and excited about learning.

Your generosity and support will greatly enhance our ability to reach more schools, more classrooms, and more students.

The Hayward Education Foundation is a non-profit organization (501(c)3) whose purpose is to enhance the educational opportunities for students in all Hayward schools. We achieve this by providing support to teachers for innovative projects in Hayward classrooms.

Since 1983, the Hayward Education Foundation (HEF) has depended upon the community’s generosity to generate the funds necessary to support innovative and creative classroom projects. Since inception, we have given over $1,040,000 to Hayward classrooms. Our success is based on the funds we raise through your generous donations. We can only give what we receive.
