HEF was incorporated in 2006 to provide students with opportunities beyond what the school district can provide. Along with awarding scholarships, HEF supports the Cadet Cupboard. Hilton Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit led by a seven-member Board of Directors that is comprised of volunteer members from the community, business and education, and is a member of the National Schools Foundation Association. One Hundred (100%) percent of all Cadet Cupboard and Scholarship donations go directly to the students. The four (4%) percent administrative fees are funded by the Foundation’s fundraising activities. The Hilton Education Foundation does not receive funding from the Hilton Central School District.
