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. Nearly 350 grants totaling more than $110,000 have been given since the Foundation’s inception in 1992.
Grants support projects that are not included in school budgets, such as:
- Teacher innovation with classroom curriculums
- School program enhancements
The dollars raised to fund Education Foundation grants come from a variety of sources:
- Annual Holiday Arts & Crafts Sale
- Teacher Appreciation Week
- Staff donations through payroll deduction
- Donations from local individuals/businesses/organizations
If you are interested in donating to help fund innovative programs for our Verona Area School District students, please email Nick Grays or donate on Paypal. The Verona Area Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization.
The Verona Area Education Foundation also serves as a fiscal agent for various projects and programs for the benefit of the Verona Area School District, its staff and students.
The Verona Area Education Foundation is currently seeking three board members to serve the needs of Verona Area students.
