board of directors
Of the People, By the People
The EdFund is a totally independent, nonprofit, and volunteer-driven organization serving our supporters, who are committed to advancing educational excellence in the Hamilton Wenham Regional School District. The EdFund is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of 20-25 residents of Hamilton and Wenham. Directors are elected by the Board and are eligible to serve two three-year terms.
“We are continually inspired by the creativity and dedication of the teachers and staff who make our schools exceptional places to learn and grow. Each year, our educators bring forward innovative ideas–projects that spark curiosity, encourage collaboration and deepen learning for students across our district.”
“EdFund grants provide educations and learners with access to state-of-the-art resources and serve as a catalyst for pioneering programmatic ideas that can be piloted and scaled. Students across the district have the opportunity to learn in new ways with engaging, hands-on, project-based learning experiences.”
“EdFund events bring our community together in support of educational excellence; celebrating our schools while raising vital funds to fuel innovative teaching and dynamic learning. These gatherings strengthen connections, inspire generosity and translate into meaningful opportunities for our students and educators.”
