Community Investment

Over the past several years, the Jenkintown Education Foundation has helped secure and steward hundreds of thousands of dollars in directed donations from alumni, community members, local businesses, and philanthropic partners.

Guided Giving

JEF works closely with donors to connect philanthropic interests with district needs, helping shepherd gifts toward meaningful projects that align with both donor goals and district priorities.

Grant Development

JEF has partnered with district leadership to support competitive grant applications and fundraising initiatives, including successful six-figure grant awards totaling more than $250,000.

District Collaboration

JEF regularly partners with the district to provide flexible nonprofit support for projects and initiatives outside traditional district funding structures, including support for the district kiln and the Jenkintown 150 anniversary video project.

Student Access Programs

JEF administers the S.O.S. program to help ensure that financial barriers do not prevent student participation in school activities and experiences.

Legacy Park Initiative

JEF served as the nonprofit partner and financial steward for the Legacy Park initiative, which raised more than $1 million through community giving, donor support, and grants.
