In our 40th year we are feeling more positive than ever about the invitation to be "a part of something far bigger than ourselves, than our particular families"...because we've seen the difference it can make! Equitable public schools create equitable communities!
Your generosity is what allows us to continue doing this work, so thank you for the gifts you will make this giving season: for Berkeley public school students, families, and educators— and for the wellbeing of Berkeley.

Marice Ashe is what we call a “triple threat” – a School Support Volunteer, Classroom Volunteer and long-time donor. In each of these roles, Marice has made positive impacts on families and students, and helped to advance the Schools Fund mission of equitable public education.
As we head into the winter holidays, we want to appreciate the many members of our community who give to the Schools Fund, whether it's time, talent or treasure. Or like Marice, all three!

Thank you to the @BerkeleyHalf for our 9th year as the BHM charitable partner! Since 2013, BHM runners have raised over $100,000 for our grants and volunteer programs.
The @BerkeleyHalf has become a well-loved Berkeley tradition and we're so grateful to be a part of it. Plus, we think handing out beer and pretzels at the end of the race is a great way to spend a Sunday morning! Cheers to our Board members Madan and Lynna...
and safe affinity spaces for students and families.
