Founded in 1988, the Beaverton Education Foundation raises money to provide hands-on innovative academic enrichment and advancement programs & projects that go beyond normal school funding at all 54 Beaverton public schools and is a 501(c)(3) community-based nonprofit organization. BEF mobilizes community resources to fund innovative classroom, summer and after-school programs. BEF receives no public funds but relies on more than 2,500 tax-deductible contributions annually from school families, community members, alumni, district staff, and local businesses. 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. BEF funds only hands-on academic programs and projects. Funding requests are received from all 54 schools as well as from District-wide and multi-school programs. Families and businesses throughout the Beaverton community have invested more than $5.25 million in grants for 2,800 programs and projects, through the 2021-2022 school year, that would not have existed without community support.
