About Us

The Center Grove Education Foundation (CGEF) supports Center Grove students, teachers, administrators and staff. Our mission is to partner with our community to enrich the lives of the approximately 8,000 Center Grove Community School Corporation (CGCSC) students by funding additional learning experiences and resources for teachers and administrators.

Founded in 1998, the Foundation is a 501(C)(3) not-for-profit organization led by a board of directors representing various areas of the Center Grove community (unincorporated; located in White River Township in Johnson County). Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible.

Our volunteer board members work together to raise money to fund educational projects that go beyond the normal charter of the school corporation. The Foundation bridges the gap between programs funded with tax dollars and the need for additional imaginative programs and activities to ensure that students learn, grow and achieve their full academic potential.

We are blessed to be a part of a community that understands the vital link between high quality public education and a vibrant local economy.  Thank you to everyone in the Center Grove business and residential communities who provide ongoing support for the Foundation.  Together, we can succeed in our efforts to enhance education, helping to provide a solid foundation for the future leaders of the Center Grove area.
