About Us
How CCEF began
The Clinton Community Educational Foundation (CCEF) began in 2006; receiving their 501(c) (3) status in May 2007. A non-profit organization, the CCEF began as a grass-roots effort to assist the school district in their ongoing efforts to keep up with the growing deficit created by the State of Illinois. It is the goal of the CCEF to provide support to meet the educational needs of the CUSD15 students. As of today, over $300,000 has been awarded in classroom grants and scholarships. The CCEF also facilitated the construction of the High School's Riddle Memorial Greenhouse and established the offsite Richland Community College Dual Credit Classes for CHS Senoirs. We have entrusted with a few endowments that allow for us to offer several amazing scholarship opportunities for CUSD15 graduates.
The Foundation is always seeking new people and ideas to assist in its endeavors. Persons interested in making a donation or joining the Foundation as a Board Member may contact the Unit Office or speak with an existing Foundation member.
