The HF Foundation Story
The Homewood-Flossmoor High School Foundation was established with a simple but powerful belief: when a community invests in its students and educators, everyone benefits.
The HF Foundation opens doors for students to explore their passions and pursue what excites them most. By supporting post-high school plans, the Foundation helps Vikings turn their interests into future success.
Since its founding, the Foundation has served as a bridge between generous supporters and meaningful opportunities within Homewood-Flossmoor High School. Through grants, scholarships, and special projects, the Foundation enhances educational experiences, supports innovative teaching, and helps remove financial barriers so all students can thrive.
Our work is made possible by a strong network of community partnerships and the ongoing generosity of parents, staff, alumni, and friends of HF. From fundraising events to individual donations, every contribution plays a role in expanding opportunities and strengthening the HF experience.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Foundation is committed to transparency, stewardship, and impact. Donations are tax-deductible in accordance with the law, and each dollar is thoughtfully invested to support students and educators today—and for years to come.
Together, we are building a legacy of opportunity, innovation, and Viking pride.
