About Hillsborough Education Foundation
Hillsborough Education Foundation Inc directed its largest recent grant to Hillsborough County Public Schools for district-wide school and classroom enrichment, a signal that system-level support sits at the center of its work. The foundation’s giving is organized around public education in Hillsborough County, with grants that touch classroom enrichment, early literacy, scholarships, mentoring, digital access, college and career readiness, and school safety. Recent awards also show support for community resiliency programming and arts education alongside school-based initiatives. The foundation’s recurring scholarship and mentoring programs are a major part of its identity. Through Take Stock in Children, it supports low-income high school students with mentoring and college scholarships, while Senior Scholarships serve Hillsborough County seniors heading to university, community college, technical college, or trade school. On the school side, Hillsborough County Public Schools receives district support, and educators can also seek help for classroom and school enrichment projects. The pattern suggests a funder that combines direct student support with investments in the school system and partner organizations that extend services around it.
What Hillsborough Education Foundation Funds
Early literacy is one of the foundation’s clearest program areas. Its Transforming Early Literacy Initiative supports full-time literacy coaches, in-class support, job-embedded professional development, and modeling or co-teaching to improve K–3 instruction. College and career readiness appears in several forms. SCOPE funds one-on-one coaching for postsecondary planning, including FAFSA, testing, applications, and career pathway exploration. Scholarships also support postsecondary transition through the Senior Scholarships program and Take Stock in Children. The foundation also funds school and classroom enrichment. Hillsborough County Public Schools educators can apply for competitive classroom grants for innovative projects, including STEAM, arts, literacy, and curriculum-based field trips. Digital access is another theme: Tech Connect provides at-risk students and families with a computer, one year of Wi‑Fi, digital skills coaching, and ongoing support.
