A message from our president
Every school year brings new opportunities to learn, grow, and make a difference, and I’m grateful to be part of an organization that helps make those opportunities possible. For more than 30 years, the Zionsville Education Foundation has been committed to enhancing educational experiences in Zionsville Community Schools. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, volunteers, and community partners, we are able to provide funding for innovative programs, classroom grants, and experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and excellence.
What makes ZEF so special isn’t just the programs we support, it’s the people behind them. Every gift, every volunteer hour, and every act of support reflects a community that believes in investing in its students and educators. That shared commitment is what allows us to create meaningful opportunities that have a lasting impact.
As we look ahead, I invite you to be part of our mission. Whether you attend an event, volunteer, make a donation, or simply help spread the word about ZEF, your support helps ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive.
Thank you for believing in our schools and for investing in the future of our community. I look forward to all we will accomplish together this year.
