Participating in the Annual Appeal is how our community invests in the opportunities that ensure bright futures for our students. The participation of every family in the Annual Appeal is essential to raise the funding needed to sustain the high-quality education we expect.
Great Schools Today. Great Schools Forever. This is the goal of the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation – to provide excellent educational opportunities for all students through our community schools. MBEF’s Endowment is the cornerstone of this mission, supporting and sustaining quality public education here in Manhattan Beach now and for generations to come.
An employer matching gift program is employee driven corporate philanthropy designed to support the nonprofit organizations a company’s employees are passionate about by matching employee donations. An estimated $4 – $7 billion in employer matching gift funds go unclaimed per year in the United States. With less than 10% of MBEF donors currently providing matching gifts, the potential for growth is exponential.
A gift to MBEF in honor of a teacher is a meaningful way to say thank you for the impact they make every day. Your donation celebrates their dedication while directly supporting the programs, people, and opportunities that help all students thrive. It’s a timeless gesture—honoring great teaching while investing in the future of our schools.
When families and community members give their time, they strengthen the connection between our schools and the community that has always supported them. It’s hands-on, heartfelt work—and a reminder that the best things in public education have always been built together.
