The Marengo Area Schools Education Foundation was established in 1992 by a group of private citizens interested in providing the means to enrich and enhance educational programs and opportunities for our Marengo area public school students. MASEF’s goal is to build an endowment fund, to exist in perpetuity, to benefit our three public school districts. Our fundraising efforts last year allowed us to give back over $39,000 to our local schools. Parents, educators, individuals, civic and social organizations and businesses have all made contributions to the Foundation. The money earned from the investments is distributed, according to our investment policy guidelines, to Marengo Community High School District 154, Marengo-Union Elementary Consolidated School District 165 and Riley Community Consolidated School District 18. The MASEF Board is comprised of community volunteers who work tirelessly on the Foundation’s behalf. Popular communitywide events include the Family Bingo Night and 5-K Run.
