Our Mission
The San Mateo-Foster City Education Foundation raises funds and partners with the San Mateo-Foster City School District and the community to ensure that every student in our public school district receives the best opportunities to reach their fullest potential.
Our Vision
Each student within the San Mateo-Foster City School District is empowered to access and embrace the educational resources necessary for unlocking their full potential and achieving success.
Passion and Commitment: We are passionate about education, the community we live in, and the success of all students in our district.
Partnership, Collaboration, and Connections: We join forces with families, the school community, and the extended community to build trusting enduring relationships with and among our stakeholders to achieve our mission.
Equity: We seek to provide equitable access, opportunities, and experiences to all schools and students in our district.
Responsive to District and School Priorities: We work closely with district and schools to identify the different types of support needed to successfully help all students in SMFCSD thrive and will attract contributions from current and prospective donors and supporters.
Broad Support: We welcome and encourage all donations, large and small, and recognize that broad community involvement sends a powerful message of caring about the growth and future of all students in our public schools.
Respect and Professionalism: We treat others with dignity, courtesy, and consideration, regardless of differences or circumstances. We practice integrity, empathy, and accountability in all interactions, maintaining a positive and inclusive environment, and upholding ethical standards and expectations.
