North Syracuse Education Foundation
Please consider making a donation!
NSEF is launching a 5-year campaign to secure the future of the North Syracuse Education Foundation to a value of a half million dollars or more, and we believe that your philanthropic spirit and dedication to education align perfectly with our goals. Read more here.
The North Syracuse Education Foundation (NSEF) serves a simple, but comprehensive purpose—To ensure that students in the North Syracuse Central School District have the benefit of a quality education, to maintain and enhance the level of excellence in North Syracuse schools, and to respond to the realities of diminishing local and federal funding.
The North Syracuse Education Foundation secures resources to support quality education through innovative programs, creative opportunities, and imaginative approaches. These programs enrich the curriculum, inspire students and staff, and expand the community’s involvement in public education.
