Community is more than just a word to me. It’s my heart-felt belief that each and every one of us has a civic duty to enrich our local community in any and every way possible.
Whether it’s by donating blood, volunteering our time or contributing money to the charity of our choice. It is in this way that we make our home town a vibrant and fulfilling place to live.
When local individuals, families and businesses contribute to local groups it serves to strengthen our community
I strongly urge everyone to support a cause that is near and dear to your heart. Your time, energy and money will make your community a stronger one - now and into the future.
Thanks!

The NEF Mission
The Natick Education Foundation is an independent nonprofit membership organization that stimulates excellence in the Natick Public Schools by awarding grants for projects and purchases that support the curriculum, by funding scholarships and professional development for educators, and by raising the profile of public education in Natick.
The NEF Vision
Good schools are essential both to the well-being of individual students and to the civic health of our community. In this conviction, the Natick Education Foundation brings schools and citizens together to improve public education: to help our schools teach children to strive for excellence and achievement, to open young minds, and to expand the horizons of knowledge. Natick Education Foundation endeavors not only to enhance the lives of Natick's children, but in so doing to strengthen the community as a whole, now and in the future, in Natick, and beyond.
