About Us

Harford County Education Foundation began in 2003 as a small family initiative of providing school supplies to students in one classroom for students who couldn’t afford them and has grown into a community asset that was incorporated as a charitable nonprofit in 2005.

Harford County Education Foundation invests in the education of 38,000 youth in Harford County Public Schools by providing educational resources to complement the learning and growth of each student regardless of their economic circumstances.  We believe every child should have the optimal framework to achieve personal success.

The Education Foundation works in partnership with the community to bring critical resources to help students succeed in their academic and personal goals through middle and high school leadership programs, college and career mentoring, scholarships,  free school supplies for low-income students, grants to support innovative classroom instruction, and celebrating the education profession with the community.
