LAEF raises funds from parents, the community, and corporate matching gifts through our annual giving campaigns to support the students of LASD.

A non-profit foundation led by parent volunteers, the Los Altos Educational Foundation (LAEF) raises funds to sustain and enrich LASD's excellent educational program beyond what public funding provides. LAEF was formed in 1982 by a group of parents in search of a way to support the Los Altos School District (LASD) during a state budget crisis that threatened sudden cuts in teaching staff. Since its founding, LAEF has contributed over $52M and enriched the education of more than 140,000 LASD elementary and junior high schools.

A Nobel-worthy return on investment 🏅

Stanford economist Robert E. Hall won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, and he credits California taxpayers for the public education that got him there.

That’s the magic of public education: when a community invests in its schools, it transforms learning and opens the door to excellence for every child.

LAEF carries that investment forward for every Los Altos student. 💙💚

LASD students had fun choosing instruments to play in their school bands and orchestras. After lots of practice this school year, they knocked it out of the park at their spring concerts. Well done, LASD music teachers! Thank you to those who donated to LAEF to help fund music in our schools.

Music filled the air as students at all 9 LASD neighborhood schools performed spring concerts. Thank you to everyone who donated to LAEF this school year to help fund our talented music teachers and a well-rounded education.
