About Us

The Glenview Education Foundation, more commonly known as GEF, is a non-profit, volunteer-driven fundraising organization of District 34 parents who believe incremental private funding is critical for supporting a high performing public school district. Since being established in 2001, the GEF has invested more than $3,000,000 to fund innovative and high impact pilot programs across District 34. 

Mission statement

We believe in public education.  Our mission is to advance excellence across all District 34 schools through supplemental private funding of high impact initiatives.
