​

THE BEGINNING 

In 1990, the Chelsea Education Foundation (CEF) as founded by Joe

Piasecki, then superintendent of the Chelsea School District. The goal of

the foundation was to provide funding for a wide spectrum of educational

activities to benefit the residents of Chelsea. The CEF was to serve as a

link between school, business and community to help strengthen Chelsea’s

future. Contributions to CEF are given back to the school district through

college and trade school scholarships and grants to innovative teachers

and administrators.

 

THE PROGRAMS

Since 2001, the foundation has demonstrated a significant contribution to the school district. Over 54,000 students received benefits from the foundation's efforts and activities,

 over 741 grant programs were funded ranging from art installations and robotics to financial management, and over 1,055 scholarships were awarded to students with outstanding achievement.

​

In 2018, due to the generosity of our sponsors and donors, the CEF was able to fund a large district-wide grant for the first time. The North Creek Elementary MakersSpace is a place for children to practice innovation and work together in groups.
