What is AHEF? Anoka-Hennepin Educational Foundation Created in 1990 as a 501C3, non-profit corporation, AHEF’s mission is to seek resources to support and enrich educational opportunities for Anoka-Hennepin students in partnership with the community of District #11. AHEF work s to support all 44 plus school sites in the Anoka-Hennepin Independent School District.
