A gift to the MBEF Endowment Fund is an investment in every current Manhattan Beach student as well as those fifty years from now. The principal gift is maintained in perpetuity while a portion of the return on its investment supports annual grants to Manhattan Beach schools. Proceeds from the MBEF Endowment Fund may be used when the fund’s assets reach $10 million. We are closer than ever to reaching this mark thanks to the generosity of several leading donors.
