About Us

The New Haven Schools Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 foundation dedicated to supporting schools in the New Haven Unified School District. Our mission is to partner with the community to raise money for scholarships, classroom grants, and enrichment activities. We aim to help develop and empower every student to be productive, responsible, and successful.

In 2024, the Foundation’s Pathways to Success program awarded $242,500 in scholarships for our students, bringing the total to $2,001,000. Our project grants enable teachers to innovate in the classroom and schools to offer extracurricular activities, funded in part by our Fund-a-Need auction. Thanks to the generosity of donors, especially those who attended the gala, NHSF funded $109,000 in classroom programs in 2024! Every dollar of support we receive stays here in our local school district, serving children and youth living in Union City and parts of Hayward.
