Geneseo Education Foundation A not-for-profit corporation providing programs & educational opportunities that exceed or present offerings. Established in 1990.

In 1987, the seed for GEEE was planted when several Geneseo School District board members attending the annual school board convention were introduced to the concept of a local educational foundation. After the discussion at the board’s retreats in 1988 and 1989, plans were set in motion to form a foundation. A steering committee began drafting bylaws and laying the groundwork for what would become known as the Geneseo Endowment for Excellence in Education A board of directors was selected from the steering committee, and the first meeting was held August 16, 1991. After months of thoughtful planning a public fund drive was launched on November 16th, 1991, with a kick-off breakfast at The Deck. A direct mail brochure was mailed to all residents in District #228 explaining the purpose and goals of the endowment. GEEE was formed to provide a means for all citizens to contribute to the continuation and expansion of quality educational opportunities in School District #228. In 2015, in order to make the name user friendly, the Board of Directors chose to simplify the name to the Geneseo Education Foundation.

GEF Highlight on Ms. Panicucci's classroom grant.
Guided Reading Books and how they are used in her classroom in her words:
"I have been able to meet the reading needs of my students through this grant through guided reading groups. The books that were purchased were at different reading levels, so I am able to reach four different reading levels. They were also high interest books, so they keep my students engaged while reading."

This week's highlight on Mr. Reyes 6th grade Spanish class grant purchase from the fall grants 2022 - Spanish Board Games

"We learn how to play the board games in Spanish. Each group learns one game and they have to explain (and translate) to other groups. After everyone knows how to play, they can use the board games as a brain break, and we create our own board games in Spanish."
