The
Unionville-Chadds Ford Education Foundation, Inc. (UCFEF) was formed
in 1995 by a group of parents dedicated to supporting the education and
development of children in the school district. UCFEF is a non profit
charitable organization; members include parents, professional educators,
business people and residents of the school district.
Our
mission is to further excellence in education by raising and appropriating
money for educational projects within the Unionville-Chadds Ford School
District that are not currently funded within the school budget. UCFEF's
efforts are strongly supported by both the school district administration
and the school board. Relying on a volunteer Board of Directors and an
active membership, UCFEF is able to appropriate more than 95% of
all money raised. To date we have granted more than $205,000 to projects in the schools.
Applications
for project funding can be submitted by teachers, parents, and students.
All grant requests are reviewed by the Appropriation Committee with input
from the School District, Program Directors and the School Board as necessary.
Each school in the district has a foundation liaison. Please contact your
school liaison for general questions and information. Click

Our
funding sources include personal membership dues, corporate
sponsors, and fund raising events. The majority of funds raised each
year comes from a variety of social fundraising events.
We
encourage you to become an active member of the foundation by
