Caledonia Education Foundation

The Caledonia Education Foundation (CEF) was established in 1998 to help support a tradition of excellence in the Caledonia Community Schools (CCS) in Caledonia, Michigan. Our purpose is to provide funding in the form of grants for exceptional education programs that would not otherwise be funded by the district and to provide scholarship awards for post secondary education to Caledonia High School graduating seniors. The Essentials Fund is another way CEF support our student's immediate needs that may be a barrier to their learning. Items can range from food, clothing and bills paid to medical or transportation assistance. The volunteer CEF Board of Directors works throughout the school year to build an endowment that will provide support for the many generations of CCS students to come. Funds are raised thanks to the generosity of community members who make direct Donations, buy memorial bricks, or teacher gifts, attend CEF events such as CALAPALOOZA, donate through United Way, payroll deduction plans and employer matching funds, or who remember a loved one through a lasting memorial or CEF scholarship. Our annual CALAPALOOZA event held before the varsity football homecoming game, has become a highly anticipated community tradition as well as a successful fundraising event featuring kid's activities, food trucks, sponsorship booths, the gameday broadcast,pep rally, a parade, and the presentation of the Caledonia Honored Alumni Award.
