EIRC Foundation Inc

EIRC is committed to continuously improving the education, safety, physical and emotional health of children. EIRC meets this commitment by developing and delivering a comprehensive array of support services to those who teach, raise, care for and mentor children.
The Educational Information and Resource Center is a nonprofit educational agency which each year serves more than 250,000 teachers, students, school administrators, parents, childcare providers and others who are working to meet the developmental needs of New Jersey's children. Ninety-five percent of New Jersey's public schools participate in one or more of EIRC's educational programs. A significant number of private and parochial schools also benefit from certain EIRC services. Over our 40 year history projects developed by EIRC for New Jersey's schools have been adopted by schools in more than 30 other states.

Our EIRC Foundation currently runs grant funded afterschool programs at 7 schools in 5 NJ districts.
