Thanks to our generous community, the Easthampton Learning Foundation (ELF) helps support and pilot programs that typically would not be funded through a public-school budget. Our mission is to enrich and enhance social, cultural, and educational opportunities for our public students through grants and social investments.

Over the past few years, ELF has funded the following programs:

o The Elementary and Middle School Garden Project

o Latino Heritage Month and Diversity Day

o EHS Jazz Band

o We the People

o Summer camperships for 37 students on free and reduced lunch

o $25,000 grant to Mass Audubon’s Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary to develop an engaging outdoor nature education program at Mountain View School

o A virtual performance by Grammy Award winning musician Mister G

o In-school yoga with Breathing Space Yoga Studio for high school students

o Easthampton Healthy Youth Coalition, Emily Williston Memorial Library, and Mountain View Parent and Teacher Organization

o Music and Poetry Synchronized School (MAPS) Partnership between Easthampton High School and Great Path Academy in Hartford for the 2022-23 school year.

We are grateful to be part of such a generous community whose donations are put to work each and every day for our school community. We invite you to support our local schools, students, and teachers by donating here or mailing a check to PO BOX 1100 Easthampton, MA 01027. With your support, we will continue to offer grants that enhance the learning experience in Easthampton schools and to expand successful new programs, but we cannot continue to do so without community support.
