Mission

The rockford education foundation (ref) was established in 1991 to provide resources for increased educational opportunities for people of all ages in the rockford community. The ref is an independent, non-profit corporation, governed by a volunteer board of trustees from the community. Teachers, students, and community members with innovative ideas have received grants for wide-ranging, educational purposes. Large & mini grants are awarded twice annually based on the merit of the request and its ability to promote educational excellence. Community impact grants are reviewed at time of submission and determined case by case, whereas student grants can be reviewed and approved during the monthly board meetings. The ref is proud to award educational grants to the rockford community.
