Standing Committees
NPEF Board members serve on one or two standing committees; each committee also includes non-board community members. Shorter-term “working groups” are formed as needed.
Development Committee
Drives the resources behind the mission.
The Development Committee leads fundraising efforts, from annual giving to grants and donor engagement, ensuring the foundation can grow its impact over time. Members play a key role in connecting people, ideas, and opportunities to support meaningful work in our schools.
Finance Committee
Ensures every dollar makes a difference.
The Finance Committee provides thoughtful oversight of the foundation’s finances, guiding budgeting, planning, and investment decisions. This is an opportunity to steward resources to maximize long-term impact.
Governance Committee
Strengthens the board and NPEF as an organization.
The Governance Committee focuses on building an effective, engaged, and forward-looking board through strong policies, thoughtful recruitment, and ongoing development. Members help shape how the organization operates and grows
Grants and Scholarship Committee
Turns ideas into impact.
The Grants and Scholarships Committee reviews proposals, awards funding, and evaluates results, bringing innovative educational experiences and student opportunities to life. Members play a direct role in how resources are invested to support students and educators.
Outreach and Events Committee
Expands the foundation’s reach and strengthens its connection to the community.
The Outreach and Events Committee shapes communications, builds partnerships, and creates events that engage supporters, celebrate impact, and generate meaningful support for the organization. Its members enjoy storytelling, collaboration, and bringing people together around a shared purpose.
