The Nelson County Edu­ca­tion Endow­ment Fund, Inc. is a school and com­mu­nity part­ner­ship focused on acquiring and dis­trib­uting funding for stu­dents in the Nelson County School Dis­trict. Our mis­sion is to enhance, enrich and sup­ple­ment learning oppor­tu­ni­ties beyond those pro­vided by tax money. We have awarded 180 class­room grants worth more than $85,961 since 2001.

The NCEEF relies on cor­po­rate, civic and indi­vidual dona­tions to serve the schools of Nelson County. Con­tri­bu­tions received from 2001 through June 30, 2011, total $159,095.98.

We also hold a char­i­table gaming license (#1540). By using this license, schools, class­rooms, orga­ni­za­tions and ath­letic groups can host bingo ses­sions and con­duct split the pots and/or raffles.

A small por­tion is used for oper­a­tions. The Fund hires a part-time devel­op­ment director and assis­tant. All other func­tions are car­ried out by our vol­un­teer board of direc­tors or by com­mu­nity and school system volunteers.

Through June 30, 2011, as a result of the Fund’s grant pro­gram and char­i­table gaming license, Nelson County Schools and school groups had received $352,016.78.
