The Hope School District Educational Foundation (HSDEF) was founded in 1993 in response to state budget cuts and funding reductions for school programs.

The Foundation is a community-based, registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to promoting academic excellence, championing innovation, and providing sustained financial support to the Hope School District.

Over the years, the Foundation has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to enrich student learning, contributing resources and staffing for library, science, technology, arts instruction, and more.
