Hastings Catholic Education Foundation

Hastings Catholic Education Foundation, or HCEF, initially started as an endowment fund established in 1985. The purpose of the endowment fund was to help create a fund that would help support the operating expenses of Hastings Parochial School.

In July of 2018, the endowment fund was changed to a Foundation and a Board of Directors was developed. The change was made to ensure that all funds raised would be protected and used solely for the support of Catholic Education. 

The goal of HCEF is to build strong, faith-filled children who do the very best they can in this ever-changing world.

The Purpose of HCEF is:

• To support the mission and ministries of the Hastings area Catholic Schools
• Provide Tuition Assistance and Scholarships for students attending the school
• Provide Capital Improvements
• To support Technology Improvements in the teaching and learning environment
• To Subsidize Premium Education and Learning opportunities
• Equity Growth

Hastings Catholic Education Foundation 
supports Catholic schools financially through the generosity of its donors and fundraising efforts. The Foundation has been established to ensure the continuity of Catholic Education in the Hastings, MN area.
