Why The Need

The San Mateo-Foster City Education Foundation was founded in 1989 in response to the growing disparity in equity and opportunity within our San Mateo-Foster City School District (SMFCSD) due in part to decreased state funding caused by the passage of Proposition 13.

​​

Our Foundation has continued its mission to raise funds and partner with the SMFCSD and the community to ensure that every student in our public school district receives the best opportunities to reach their fullest potential. To date, we have granted more than $8.7 million to the San Mateo-Foster City School District.

​​

Your financial contributions allow the Foundation to bring equity to our schools & help our diverse community of students achieve their full potential by providing them with the well rounded education they deserve.
