Overview

Mission

To provide financial and creative support to the half hollow hills school district by indentifying and mobilizing available resources and by fostering partnerships among our schools, community, business and industry.

What it reported doing in 2020

The Hills Foundation provides grants to teachers and staff to allow for special projects that are out of the realm of the school budget that enhance the classroom experience.In addition, we support initiatives such as the STM program, Hills on Stage for the performing arts, and International Cultural Exchange Program.Part of our service includes guest speakers and special events that allow for a greater understanding of cultures and current events.We meet with the HHH School District on a regular basis to evaluate the best projects and ways to support their efforts. Although funds were raised in 2019, no special items were identified as an expense. As a result, the only expenditures the Hills Foundation incurred were efforts to provide start up money for related fundraisers.Typically the individual teacher projects impact 25-50 students, while the larger events support upwards of 1,000 students.
