Magic of Story: Visiting Author Program
"To promote and support a holistic approach to educational excellence through academic advancements, health and wellness, and community interaction"
Our mission is to further excellence in education by raising and appropriating money for educational projects within the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District that are not currently funded within the school budget. UCFEF's efforts are strongly supported by both the school district administration and the school board. Relying on a volunteer Board of Directors and an active membership, UCFEF is able to appropriate more than 95% of all money raised. To date we have granted more than $250,000 to projects in the schools.
The Unionville-Chadds Ford Education Foundation, Inc. (UCFEF) was formed in 1995 by a group of parents dedicated to supporting the education and development of children in the school district. UCFEF is a non profit charitable organization; members include parents, professional educators, business people and residents of the school district.
Applications for project funding can be submitted by teachers, parents, and students. All grant requests are reviewed by the Appropriation Committee with input from the School District, Program Directors and the School Board as necessary. Each school in the district has a foundation liaison. Please contact your school liaison for general questions and information.
Our funding sources include personal membership dues, corporate sponsors, and fund raising events. The majority of funds raised each year comes from a variety of social fundraising events.
We encourage you to become an active member of the foundation by completing the sponsorship application and mailing it with your tax deductible contribution to:
