MBEF ENDOWMENT PADDLE RAISE10

HELP THE ENDOWMENT REACH $20 MILLION BY 2020.

THE BENEFITS OF AN ENDOWMENT

Much of the success of our schools depends on the tremendous support from our community. Each year MBEF grants over $6M for educational programs throughout our District, most of which comes from annual donations from parents. When we look to the future of our schools, increasing the MBEF Endowment has significant advantages.

• The Endowment creates an ongoing source of income. Because our endowment provides a reliable source of income in perpetuity, MBEF can count on annual distributions to support grants, regardless of fluctuations in the economy or shortfalls in Sacramento. By growing the Endowment to $20M by 2020, it will disburse approximately $1M to our schools every year.

• The Endowment relieves fundraising pressure on our Annual Appeal. Donations to the Annual Appeal have been the primary source of funding for providing enrichment programs in our schools. It is challenging to grow the Annual Appeal to meet increasing demand and costs. The Endowment provides additional support for MBEF’s annual grants.

• The Endowment upholds our donors’ values and priorities. Our Endowment provides assurance that programs that are important to our donors will continue for generations to come. As priorities change, so may the programs, but the funding will always be there.

Please join us in this important endeavor and raise your paddle tonight!

STEAM in our Schools: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.

STEAM at the Wine Auction: Schrader Cellars, TUSK, Elio Grasso, Araujo Estate and Memento Mori. Included are four bottles of Schrader Cellars in their original wooden case. TUSK might be the hardest Napa wine to find anywhere. These are Araujo’s last two vintages of Eisele Vineyard wine since the estate was sold last year. Speaking of Elio Grasso’s 2008 Barolos, critic Antonio Galloni said, “Both Baroli are drop dead gorgeous”. Memento Mori continues to break away from their peers with the 2012 and 2013 vintages. These wines rarely come together so don’t miss this opportunity.

MBEF supports STEAM programs across the district to prepare students for a 21st century world with over $1,000,000 in annual funding.
