Hillsborough Education Foundation

The role of the Hillsborough Education Foundation is to engage business and community partners in the support of Hillsborough County Public Schools and the academic achievement of all its students.

As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Foundation provides Hillsborough County Public Schools with funding that is typically more flexible than restricted tax dollars. The funding and extra resources for the students, teachers, and schools helps to cover the gap that exists between what school budgets can cover, and what is needed to ensure the academic success of our students.

Since its establishment in 1988, the Foundation has invested more than $71 million for the enhancement of public education in Hillsborough County. Annually the Foundation obtains over $5 million in support from the community, with 92 cents of every dollar going directly to programs.

We need people to join our AmeriCorps team that helps struggling readers & coordinates our peer mentors. Interested? Click here to learn more: http://www.educationfoundation.com/Localization/HEF_EN/Assets/PDFs/Job%20Descriptions/Positions%20Available%20what%20is%20Americorps-updated%2012-5-11.pdf
