  • The Education Foundation of Morris Plains is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit volunteer organization that raises funds for innovation in education for all students in the Morris Plains School District. We have provided more than $100,000 to fund worthy projects in all grades that were outside the district's regular budget.

  • The Education Foundation of Morris Plains (EFMP) raises funds through applying for outside grants and by hosting unique, community-building fundraisers. These have included our signature Strides for Education 5K Walk/Run; Harlem Wizards vs. Morris Plains Teachers and staff basketball games; Beer & Bites craft beer and food tasting; A Toast to Excellence wine-tasting; Marvelous Homes of Morris Plains house tour; and more.

  • The EFMP can use as much or little of your time and talent as you can spare! We are looking for enthusiasm and expertise in event planning, attracting sponsors, marketing, social media, grant writing and more. If you would like to donate to our worthy cause or learn more about what we do, go to www.educationfoundationmp.org or contact educationfoundationmp@gmail.com.

Congratulations to our 2023 Strides for Education 5K Run/Walk champions!

Congratulations to our 2023 Strides for Education 5K Run/Walk champions! Steven Monteleone sped into first place overall at 17 minutes and 16.2 seconds. Maria Mahoney finished with an impressive time of 19 minutes and 57.5 seconds to be the first-place female finisher and earn 4th place overall. 

Participants love running our fast, flat course through the streets of Morris Plains, especially because they can support a good cause while smashing their PRs! We look forward to continuing to set records with our community on the race course and in the classroom in 2024!
