About Oak Harbor Educational Foundation 

What we do:

 

The Oak Harbor Educational Foundation's mission is to empower Oak Harbor School District’s students and educators. We create opportunities for students to thrive, receive scholarships for post-secondary education, and enable teachers and schools to provide supportive and innovative learning experiences.

 

History:

 

The Oak Harbor Educational Foundation (OHEF) was formed by caring citizens in 1992 to benefit education in Oak Harbor Schools. OHEF is a private non-profit corporation and all contributions are tax-deductible. The citizen board of directors oversees the use of funds and ensures they further the mission of the Foundation.

 

OHEF awards over $65,000 in college scholarships and over $15,000 in grants to teachers annually. OHEF depends on funds raised through annual events, one-time donations, annual donors, and endowments which are invested to support ongoing scholarships and programs.
