Grants
The money raised by SHEF is distributed back to the District schools in June, after the completion of the application and voting processes. All District teachers, administrators and personnel are encouraged to apply for grants throughout the year for the purchase of supplemental learning tools needed for our schools. Click here for more information on the process and the application form.

Since our inception, SHEF is proud to have funded 75 grants. Grants were awarded in most subject areas, and all District schools have received funding. We have funded a variety of items including ELMO projectors, laptop computers, musical instruments, and various programs and books to enhance current curriculum in most subject areas, to name a few.

Who We Are
SHEF is currently comprised of eighteen directors, two school board and district liaison members and eight teacher liaisons. The Foundation has recently elected a new Executive Board and added six new members. Click here for the member list.

History and Mission
The Summit Hill Educational Foundation (“SHEF”) is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 by a group of parents, teachers and administrators. SHEF has grown from 19 members to 28 today.

Our mission is to creatively generate financial support to enrich and enhance the opportunities and educational experiences of the students in Summit Hill School District 161. With the support from District families, teachers and the local business community, SHEF has raised over $101,000 in our first three years of operation.
