Foundation Profile

Ten-year Vision. The Red Bank Borough Board of Education and The Red Bank Borough Education Foundation will join with the Borough of Red Bank, the Rutgers Department of Landscape Architecture, Meadowlands Commission and various community and State organizations to establish an education / visitor site at the Primary School property, promoting exploration and preservation of this environmentally unique landscape along the banks of the Swimming River, and providing education and learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom into the surrounding natural environment to create and support an ecologically literate community.

Primary objectives:

Raising funds by personal and business donations, grants and grant management procedures.
