The mission of the Rush-Henrietta Education Foundation is to enhance and enrich educational opportunities for students and staff of the Rush-Henrietta Central School District through charitable giving. This is done by funding educational initiatives, programs, and projects that cannot be included in the annual school district budget.

It started as an idea, a "what if".

What if there were a way to go beyond?
to reward the forward thinkers?
to try new things?
to enhance educational opportunities for the R-H school community in a meaningful way?
to step out of the box?
It started as wishful thinking; now it is a reality.

In just three years, RHEF has awarded over $11,000 in scholarships. We have funded academic and extracurricular enrichment grants of over $6,000, and have provided over $3,000 in student and community assistance. RHEF contributed over $27,000 toward the purchase and installation of the steeplechase addition to the high school track, which will benefit the students of Rush-Henrietta for years to come.

Rush-Henrietta Education Foundation operates under the sponsorship of Rochester Area Community Foundation Initiatives, Inc. The Foundation is guided by a group of volunteer Trustees all community members dedicated to educational enhancement and enrichment within the R-H community.
