Beaverton Education Foundation (BEF) strives to fund projects and programs at all Beaverton, Oregon schools and to impact every student’s education through our cornerstone programs. BEF was founded in 1988 to support strong public schools in Beaverton. We aim to support high quality educational innovation in our schools that are identified by our educators, but are not possible withing normal school funding. We help pilot and refine innovative educational ideas and help grow them into highly-successful programs reaching more classrooms, grades and schools. We target support towards meeting the needs of student populations who have historically faced barriers to equitable educational opportunities.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
BEF aims to incubate promising ideas, create hands-on learning opportunities, and fill in funding gaps, all while connecting the community to the classroom.
We help educators in Beaverton, OR design and deliver innovative classroom-based projects, before/after school activities, and summer enrichment opportunities that support student educational achievement.
We target support to address barriers to equitable education with initiatives that meet the needs of low-income or at-risk student populations.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
BEF’s cornerstone programs include:
-After school academic success programs
-Band Together/Arts & Music
-Building STEAM 4 All
-Career Connected Learning and Innovation
-Literacy/Language Arts
-Summer Learning
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have a strong track record of raising money, volunteers and in-kind support for innovative academic enrichment and advancement activities that our educators consider important for a high-quality education but are not possible withing normal school funding.
BEF’s role is to support educators’ innovative ideas and to help them grow, with the support of the philanthropic and corporate community, individual donors, and volunteers to provide the necessary funding and strategic support to make these resources available to our students. Many of the programs and projects are publicized via our "Beaverton's Choice" donor platform where the community is able to support projects of interest directly.
In the 2023-24 school year, BEF invested $470,860 in Beaverton's 54 schools, supporting 151 student-centered programs and projects.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
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 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. Since our founding, families and businesses across the Beaverton community have invested more than $6.13 million in support for academic programs and projects in the schools that were not possible with public school funding.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
