The Beaverton Education Foundation (BEF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3), supporting kids from kindergarten through high school, by funding innovative educational opportunities in Beaverton public schools. Funds donated to BEF pay for programs not mandated or funded by the state, but ones our parents and dedicated educators consider necessary for a quality education. State funding for education in Oregon is inadequate for many basic programs, insufficient to fund enrichment programs, and unavailable to underwrite innovative programs. The Foundation directly supports hands-on student programs; purchasing equipment and materials, funding visiting artists and scientists, and helping offset transportation and facility fees. Funding requests are received from all 54 schools as well as from District-wide and multi-school programs. BEF grants often fund pilot programs that are tested, proven and refined before being rolled out to a group of schools. Think of BEF as the start-up funding for innovative ideas. Make a tax-deductible donation – our schools rely on every member of our community to educate the next generation of leaders and concerned citizens. Contributions can be made at:
