NEED's 2025 Spring Auction

Proceeds from this online silent auction will fund grant requests from Norton Public Schools teachers and staff at ALL five Norton Public Schools.

INNOVATE. EDUCATE. EMPOWER.
We support classroom technology, innovative programming, and cutting edge experiences throughout the district.

For every kid. For every classroom. For every NEED.

NEED is a non-profit community foundation chartered to fund innovative educational programs and/or technology for the Norton Public Schools. Each year, NEED will award grants that make learning come alive for nearly 2,500 public school students. NEED has awarded over $200,000 in grants to Norton Public Schools faculty and staff. We look forward to that total growing with your help!

NEED funds grants for projects ranging from those that focus on traditional academic subjects, to others in the visual and performing arts, to science and technology, as well as to programs that promote multi-cultural and community learning experiences. The foundation encourages programs that enhance standard curriculum in order to benefit Norton Public School students. However, NEED grants do not underwrite basic school budget items.
