Who We Are
The Hingham Education Foundation is a non-profit, community-based organization committed to enriching the quality of public education in Hingham. Since its incorporation in 1992, the HEF has awarded grants to enhance educational quality throughout the system. These grants provided funding for innovative classroom projects, development of teaching strategies, special programs, new books and materials, improving technology and more.
Funds for the HEF's programs are generated through community contributions, and all monies raised are used to extend public funding for the schools. All donations, in-kind contributions, and volunteer hours are gratefully accepted. For further information, please call the Foundation office at (781) 740-8217.

Red Apple Program
The Hingham Education Foundation's Red Apple Program is a meaningful way for parents and students to show their appreciation to a teacher, administrator, coach or other adult who has played a special role in a student's life.
Through the Red Apple Program, you may honor a teacher or staff member by making a donation to HEF in his/her name. You will send each honoree a "Red Apple" thank you card which acknowledges your gift to HEF in their name. The amount of your donation will be kept confidential. HEF will send you a tax deductable receipt.
