The Hood River County Education Foundation (HRCEF) is an independent 501(c)3 organization that supports students and teachers through two primary programs: scholarships for students and grants for teachers. HRCEF has been granting money to students and teachers at HRCSD since 1991, with last year being our most successful to date.
In the 2023-2024 school year, the foundation awarded more than half a million dollars, of which $388,000 went to scholarships for graduating high school seniors and college students from Hood River County. We also awarded $64,000 in teaching grants, $25,000 for equitable funding of after school programs, and $30,000 for field trips. The foundation sponsored swim lessons for kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 4th grade students in the elementary schools in conjunction with Hood River Parks and Recreation.
We also provide an online platform for free to 26 community scholarship grantors, such as The Rotary Club, the Gorge Community Foundation, and Hood River Lions.
