The mission of the Merrillville Education Foundation is to be the primary private sector partner in supporting public education in Merrillville. Grants provided by the MEF offer resources that are not available through public education funding. Over the past 20 years, we have funded over 450 grants totaling over $389,000. These grants have impacted over 123,000 students in the Merrillville schools from kindergarten through high school. The grants are chosen based on their innovative approach and their educational contribution. By attending the Hops and Vino Festival, you will help us continue this mission for many more years to come.
If you cannot attend, but would still like to support the MEF, you can make a contribution at the Give Lively link or on our website through PayPal at merrillvilleeducationfoundation.org.
