THE FUTURE
OF FAIR HAVEN

 E F F H

The Education Foundation of Fair Haven is a non-profit 501(c)(3)* organization focused on enhancing the learning experience for the whole student body in the Fair Haven School District. The Foundation depends on parent philanthropy to provide additional funding to the district. We ask that you make a contribution for the 2025-2026 school year. 

MISSION

We are the Education Foundation of Fair Haven. With your contribution, we are ready to support the future of Fair Haven's schools - engaging the community as public school advocates and ensuring educational excellence for all students!

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE EFFH?

The Education Foundation of Fair Haven's fundraising will play a critical role in supporting Fair Haven School District's annual operating budget. Most household property taxes do not cover the number of students that are enrolled in the school system.

 

WHY ARE WE RAISING MONEY ?

64% or $24m of our property taxes go to our schools (Fair Haven and RFH) with Fair Haven Schools receiving $16.4m. Fair Haven schools have an operating budget of $19m which leaves a $2.6m gap to be funded by other sources. The 'other sources' are made up of state aid and reserves that are plateauing, decreasing or undependable. This is where the Education Foundation is here to step in.

WHY IS PARTICIPATION IMPORTANT ?

Your participation supports Fair Haven's public education, addressing short-term needs while supporting long-term initiatives.

CAN THE SCHOOLS RAISE REVENUE TO COVER THE OPERATING BUDGET?

Due to state law, NJ schools are limited to a 2% tax increase each year. This is a challenge for all NJ school districts since costs are increasing at a faster rate: Inflation (4%-5%), healthcare (10%-15%), and employment costs.
