Welcome
What if our classrooms were full of inspired teachers sparking creativity, passion, and learning in their students?
The Hastings Public Schools Foundation (HPSF) was founded by our community to provide funds for innovative learning opportunities not available through current public school funding. "What If" grants given to educators by the Foundation invest in our students by allowing their teachers a chance to bring their ideas and dreams into reality.
Starting with the seemingly impossible goal of a one million dollar endowment, countless volunteers and donors worked together to make the HPSF a reality.
The first grants were delivered with trumpets and fanfare to the successful teachers in the fall of 2004.
We continue to stretch our goals of increasing the endowment and collecting additional funds so we can have an even bigger impact on education for generations to come. From planning a Garden Tour to creating a scholarship fund, Foundation supporters continue to help the Foundation grow by implementing their imaginative fundraising and partnership ideas.

Join HPSF and Hastings Ford Lincoln Mercury for the Drive One 4UR School event this August 2010. Details to come!

Everyone Can Read
Aimed to encourage lifelong reading for everyone, this grant provided books, audio books and five personal CD players to special education students with behavioral and academic difficulties. Struggles with the reading process often add to the problems these students face. The personal CD players and books will enhance the students' learning potential and foster an interest in reading for enjoyment, as they can listen to books on subjects they are interested in rather than what just one person wants to hear.
