The New Hartford Education Fund (NHEF) is a brand dedicated to promoting excellence in education and expanding learning opportunities for students in the New Hartford Public Schools. This non-profit organization is funded through grants, private gifting, and tax-deductible contributions. The NHEF seeks to enhance and enrich teaching and learning experiences in the district, supplementing the funding provided by the Town of New Hartford.

The mission of the NHEF is to effectively utilize donations and grants to support the educational mission of the New Hartford Public Schools. Their goals include presenting grant awards to each of the three schools in the district annually and demonstrating the impact the fund has on students, parents, teachers, and the community. Some of the notable achievements of the NHEF include funding projects such as the Antolini School Garden Project, Rubik's Cube Math Project, Ann Antolini Playground, R7 Robotics team, and school library automation programs.

They have also provided support for technology purchases, Project Adventure startup, and computer equipment for children with disabilities.
