In its inaugural campaign in 1980, the Hillsborough Schools Foundation established an endowment fund to ensure long-term stability for our district. Named for the first Crocker School principal, Fred Schwartz, the endowment fund continues to flourish through the generous support of our many donors, who strongly believe that only an endowment can safeguard the future of our Hillsborough schools. All donors to HSF have the opportunity to designate all or part of their donation to the endowment fund.
Today, funds in our endowment total nearly $4 million and not only provide long-term financial stability for our district, but also work for us today. Interest earned on the endowment fund supports the Science and Technology Maxi-Grant Program, and the Professional Development Grant.
