BEECHWOOD
FOUNDATION

The Foundation is our school’s primary fundraising organization. It is a non-profit, community-led volunteer organization dedicated to equipping, enriching and empowering our students.

Beechwood School Foundation supports the educational experience of the 800+ students and families of Beechwood Elementary School (TK - 8th Grade) in Fullerton, CA by funding programs that enable 21st Century Learning Standards. The Foundation supports improved student-to-teacher relationships, educational academies, experiential learning, the acquisition of technology, and the training and development of staff. Funds have been used in the past for capital improvements, teacher salaries, supplementary education in the arts and STEM, after school programs, the annual school musical, and so much more.

 

Why do we need a Foundation?

The Beechwood School Foundation seeks to expand our incredible academic programs and resources. Our Foundation dollars go entirely to our school and we often double or triple the school’s annual budget.

​

How do we work with the PTSA?

The Foundation works hand-in-hand with the PTSA to foster an inclusive environment for the students. While the Foundation works to build our academic programs, the PTSA brings together the community to create memories with family events, local outreach and team spirit. Together we work to make our school so extraordinary. 

​

Why does the Foundation do the major fundraising?

The Beechwood School Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit with greater flexibility than the PTSA to raise funds and direct those resources toward outstanding academic programs.

​

If I donated last year, can I donate again this year?

YES! Our ongoing campaign runs throughout the year and those dollar go directly to the school.

​

Does the Foundation accept matching funds from businesses?

YES! All donations, individual or corporate, are tax deductible.

​

Do I need to pay for field trips?

NO! Families used to pay busing and entrance fees for each and every field trip. Now, with the exception of overnight trips, all expenses are paid by the Foundation.

​

Do we need to meet our fundraising goals to guarantee Foundation programs for this year?

YES! Most programs require year-to-year funding and each year we evaluate the needs of the school with Mrs. Lim to determine what is necessary and what will benefit the most students at our school. Come to a Foundation meeting to learn more about all the different things we fund each year.

​

When will my donation to the Foundation start to benefit Beechwood?

Immediately! In the past, the Foundation has provided over $100,000 in funding to Beechwood after our Fall Campaign.

​

When can I make my gift to Team Beechwood?

ANYTIME! Even though our Fall Campaign ends in October, you can still make your online donations throughout the year. To make a donation today, you can do so here.
