What is the Township of Union Education Foundation?
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization comprised of volunteers from the
community who are committed to public education: parents, businesspeople, and former
educators. We work cooperatively with the Board of Education, but we are a separate,
independent charity. We were incorporated in 2001 and awarded our first grants in 2022.
What does the Foundation do?
We award grants to teachers, supervisors, and principals to fund creative and
innovative educational programs that would not be implemented without our help. We
have awarded over two hundred grants worth over $250,000.00. Grants must meet the
curriculum standards for the state of New Jersey and the district. The Foundation looks
for creative ideas and programs that can be replicated in future years.
How do we raise our money?
Our funding comes from donations from businesses and individuals, as well as fund-
raising activities planned throughout the year. Our yearly raffle and reception are our
MAJOR fundraisers. We also sell bricks in our Walkway of Honor, located at the front
entrance to Union High School. Bricks can be purchased at any time to honor or
memorialize a special person in your life. Check our Facebook page or our web page at
www.tuef.org. You can email us at tuefnj@gmail.com or call 908-851-9869 for more
