closing the gap

TEF is working to close the ‘technology gap’ in our community.

Making A Difference, Locally.

"TEF was founded with an important objective – to help close the technology gap among people of all ages and all abilities. Technology changes very quickly, and it’s important that everyone is exposed to its many aspects and is able to use it as a valuable tool in all aspects of life."

— Jim Berbee, Founder of TEF —

"TEF funds forward-thinking community groups, as well as education, technology, and science-focused organizations throughout Dane County."

"It is hard to find funding for technology – the Technology Education Foundation fills that gap."

— Grant Recipient —

"The Technology Education Foundation partners with organizations that support the idea that technology is a crucial asset and tool. We believe that every member of our community must have access to the power of technology."

Powered by the Berbee Derby

Did you know that 100% of proceeds from the Berbee Derby go to the Madison-based Technology Education Fund (TEF)? The annual Thanksgiving Day event has become a family tradition for many. Fun event for all ages and levels.

The Berbee Derby celebrated their 20 year anniversary this Thanksgiving — which was its final year of the annual event.
