About the EBEF

The East Brunswick Education Foundation (EBEF) is a nonprofit organization that strengthens the partnership between our schools, community, and local businesses. Founded in 1993, the EBEF supports educational excellence by funding innovative programs and opportunities that go beyond the regular school budget.

Through the generosity of community members and sponsors, the Foundation has raised over $3 million and awarded thousands of grants that inspire creativity and enrich learning in every East Brunswick public school.

Entirely volunteer-run, the EBEF connects parents, educators, and local leaders who share one goal—enhancing education for every student in East Brunswick.

Our History

Established in 1993 by a group of committed residents and local businesses, the East Brunswick Education Foundation was founded on the belief that a strong public school system benefits everyone in the community.

Since its inception:

  • Over $3,000,000 has been raised to support East Brunswick schools.
  • In its first year, $1,500 in grants were distributed.
  • To date, the Foundation has awarded nearly $3 million in grants while building an endowment fund exceeding $300,000.
  • The EBEF operates entirely through the efforts of volunteers, with no paid staff and minimal administrative costs—ensuring that donations directly benefit students and teachers.
