About Us

Our Mission

The Novi Educational Foundation (NEF) enriches the educational experience of all students by supporting opportunities that require financial resources beyond what is possible with public funding.

●   The NEF is passionate about developing students’ social, emotional and mental health skills. These skills include leadership, interpersonal communication, relationship building, conflict management, critical thinking, and self-confidence.   
​​ 
●   We execute this mission by providing funds for district-wide programs, grants, and 
scholarships.  These funds are obtained through fundraising, individual contributions, 
sponsorships, and endowments supporting our teachers, students, and their families

Our History
