About Us

The Groton Education Foundation was established in 1997 to help local schools and nonprofits provide extraordinary educational programs and initiatives for residents of our community.

​

We are a 501(c)(3) incorporated in Connecticut and managed entirely by volunteers who want

​to strengthen local educational opportunities.

​

The GEF is independent of all public and other private organizations. And since volunteers do all the Foundation's work, donations translate directly into grants for learning initiatives.

Third-graders made this quilt with seniors at Thrive 55/the Town of Groton Senior Center. Their intergenerational project was funded by the GEF. The kids and seniors also played card games, wrote poems and painted together.
