Nutley Educational Foundation 7 th Annual Backpack Program

NEF in partnership with Nutley Family Service Bureau will again run our "We've Got Your Back" initiative.

Thanks to the generosity of 2022 donors, we currently have 50+ backpacks ready for distribution to qualifying NFSB students.

Since 2017 NEF has provided over 300 new, quality backpacks with supplies plus gift cards to NFSB student clients. We are calling out to all donors to help strengthen our reach for 2023. Our goal for 2023 will be the same as 2022, $4,000.

Please consider sending a monetary gift to Nutley Educational Foundation (NEF), P.O. Box 735, Nutley, NJ 07110 or donating on line at www.nutleyef.org so we may purchase additional backpacks and specific supplies for each grade level.

Deadline for donations is August 31, 2023.

Formed in 2003, NEF is a 501(c) (3), not for profit organization established solely to provide funding to support educational endeavors in the Township of Nutley.

Since a reorganization in 2015, NEF has supported more than $85,000 in educational projects benefiting the Nutley school district and community.
