Businesses Investing in Our Children’s Future

MBEF Business Sponsorship Program

The Manhattan Beach Education Foundation

• For over 28 years, MBEF has evolved into a critical partner

with our school district providing $4.6 million (almost 10%)

of the funding for our local schools.

• As state resources shrink, MBEF donations step in to provide

our students with the people and programs that make our

district the 3rd highest in California.

• Our strong governing board and leaders from across the

community volunteer their time to ensure that MBEF is as

efficient as it is effective.

Working Together and Making a Difference

• A record number of parents and community members are

working together through MBEF to overcome budget cuts

and maintain our high quality schools.

• Our contributors represent an active, involved audience -

35% of Manhattan Beach residents have children in our

public schools.

• Our founding partners include Chevron and Plaza El

Segundo.

• Through our Business Sponsorship Program you can be

associated with this groundswell of support.

Business Sponsorship Benefits

• An MBEF sponsorship associates your business with a

successful local non-profit that benefits public education.

• It communicates your support of our local public schools to

the community, parents, and MBEF supporters.

• The $1.5 million we hope to raise from the business

community will have a marketable impact in classrooms

from kindergarten through high school.

• Our whole community is concerned with the state budget

situation. Your business can be part of our local solution for

education.

benefit, 501 (c) (3). All donations are tax-deductible to the full

extent allowed by law.
