Scituate, Massachusetts was one of the few towns in Massachusetts, and the only town on the South Shore without an Education Foundation. Education Foundations have a significant impact on the effectiveness of public education by providing funds for projects outside the scope of the school budget. Jen Morrison founded the Scituate Education Foundation in 2015, and along with a great team of Board of Directors expanded the mission beyond typical education foundations K-12 to include education to benefit all ages 0-100+. Within 6 months, SEF was established as the town’s recognized Education Foundation with fundraising topping $40,000.
