Why come to the SchoolsRule-Marin Gala? Swipe to see why →

Marin is one community - but the resources available to our public school students can look very different depending on where they live.

California’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) directs additional funding to districts serving more high-needs students. But public funding doesn’t eliminate every opportunity gap.

SchoolsRule-Marin helps bring our community together to do more.

When you attend our Gala, you’re not just buying a ticket to a great night, you’re helping support greater educational opportunity for public school students throughout Marin. This includes foster youth, low income families, English learners, and students experiencing homelessness.

Come for the cocktails, dinner, music and live auction. 🥂Come because equity matters. ❤️

MONDAY UPDATE: HOW GIVING TO MARIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS WORKS

Did you know there are different layers of nonprofit support behind Marin’s public schools?

Here’s a simple way to understand the 3 levels of giving:

YOUR SCHOOL PTO/PTA
Supports your individual school and school community.

YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL FOUNDATION
Raises funds to support programs and opportunities across your district.

SCHOOLSRULE-MARIN
Brings Marin’s public school foundations together to raise funds countywide, helping ensure students have access to important educational opportunities, regardless of their ZIP code.

Why do all three matter?
Because each plays a different role. Together, they create a stronger network of support for public education throughout Marin.

In 2025, SchoolsRule-Marin distributed $917,973 to Marin public school foundations.

And in 2026, we’re working toward something BIG:

$1 MILLION for Marin public schools.
