Due to changes in state legislation, schools face new and different challenges as they confront reduced available funding.  Schools throughout the state are relying on fundraising to maintain their quality of programming.  Your commitment to support the USREF has never been more vital than it is today. 


Only 6% (on avg) of a school’s budget is spent on discretionary spending.  This is where we can make a direct and immediate impact.   Follow this Link to see how public school funding is sourced and spent.

Why do we need an Ed Foundation?

How do we work?

Established in 2003, the USREF is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit community based organization that seeks to enrich and enhance the scholastic programs of students in grades Kindergarten though Eighth.  Funds raised through our EVENTS are used to fulfill GRANTS submitted by school faculty for the following school year.

Enriching & Fortifying

Our Schools

The Foundation is always interested in speaking with individuals about joining the USREF and becoming Trustees.  We generally plan two prospective member meetings, at the beginning and end of the school year, to give community members interested in joining an opportunity to meet us and get more information about our organization.
