JA Education Foundation

The Jonathan Alder Education Foundation is dedicated to securing and administering contributions for the enrichment of the Jonathan Alder Schools through grants, student scholarships, and gifts. The foundation is a broad based, not-for-profit community organization, which was established in 1991.  It is a way for people of the community, alumni, and friends to give to their schools.  

As a partner with Jonathan Alder Schools, but separate from the Board of Education, the foundation works cooperatively with the Board to provide needed and unique learning experiences or scholarships for students.
