About Sparta Education Foundation

The Sparta Education Foundation was founded in 2006 as an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the educational experience for students in Sparta's public schools. The Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of trustees comprised of Sparta residents.

We believe that a strong community counts on strong public schools to prepare its children to become productive citizens, strengthen property values, and inspire civic pride. The Sparta Education Foundation is committed to raising vitally important funds to ensure continued excellence in our district and help offset dramatic cuts in state funding for education. To date, we have made grants totaling over $782,000 to our school district.

The Sparta Education Foundation is a member of the New Jersey Education Foundation Partnership and continually seeks new ideas and opportunities that support strong schools, a strong community, and Sparta pride.

Our Mission

  • To raise funds that will enable the Sparta Education Foundation to make ongoing charitable contributions that enrich the educational experience of children in the Sparta Public Schools
  • To promote pride and positive awareness in the Sparta Public Schools.
