Our Mission
The mission of the Henrico Education Foundation is to prepare students for college, career and community by connecting philanthropy with strategic initiatives that strengthen public education in Henrico County.
Our Vision
To develop partnerships with community stakeholders and the Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) to enhance school performance and student achievement. This vision will be achieved through the implementation of HEF’s four strategic priorities. Through this process HEF will become a trusted advocate for Henrico students and teachers and a leader in developing innovative initiatives that strengthen public education.
HEF’s Four Priorities
- Prepare students K-12 for success in college, career and community
- Strengthen educational leaders and celebrate success
- Develop strong community relationships that impact school success
- Serve as a catalyst for innovation in the Henrico County Public Schools
Our Approach
Over the past two decades, HEF has played a vital role in meeting the educational needs of our community’s children. As a foundation, we do more than just provide additional funding for public education, we are innovators working in partnership with parents, teachers and administrators, continually identifying and developing initiatives that improve school performance and student achievement. Our program and funding priorities focus on implementing research-based initiatives that enhance learning in the classroom, create best practices and complement The Henrico County Public Schools’ (HCPS) improvement plans. We support all schools in Henrico County, working to provide every student the support and resources they need for success.
Organizational Values
HEF strives to ensure that every student in our county succeeds in learning and life. To accomplish this task, HEF will seek input from the superintendent, school board, principals and teachers in order to continually develop initiatives that improve school performance and student achievement. Our funding priorities support projects and programs that:
- Enhance student learning
- Fund academic programs that are in the best interest of students
- Complement school improvement plans
- Support research-based initiatives
- Have support from each school, the district and community
