Verona Area Education Foundation
The Verona Area Education Foundation, Inc. is a separate entity from the Verona Area School District and exists to offer grants, supported by fundraising efforts, and engage in projects and programs for the benefit of the Verona Area School District, its staff and students.

The dollars raised to fund Education Foundation grants come from a variety of sources:
