WHAT WE DO
The Tewksbury Education Foundation (TEF) is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization established to enhance and expand educational opportunities for more than 600 students in the two schools of the Tewksbury Township district. The TEF generates and distributes financial and other resources to bridge the gap between the needs of our schools and limited state funding available for our district.
Funds raised through generous private donations, grants and special events are used to directly support students, teachers and the administration in their quest for educational excellence now and in the future. Since 1996, the TEF has contributed over $1.6 million to Tewksbury schools in support of programs that will have a meaningful, long-term impact on the entire school community.

Enrichment Programs & Mini Grants
The TEF offers grants to teachers and staff within our school district to provide funding for unique and special programs and/or equipment that wouldn’t otherwise be possible through the school’s budget. Programs are selected to enhance and support the current curriculum in content areas such as robotics, science, poetry, theater, wellness and more.
Jean Frankel Founders Award
The Jean Frankel Founder's Award is awarded annually to honor one 8th grade student who shows focus and dedication to enhancing their education both inside and outside the classroom and a commitment to volunteerism.
