Our Community

We are a tale of two cities, 21 schools, over 10,500 students, and 1 goal.

Thanks to your individual gifts of time and energy, along with the generous support we have received from various foundation and corporate partners, the San Mateo-Foster City Education Foundation has been able to fulfill our mission and envision a future where every child truly has access to the education they deserve.

We have granted more than $7.2 million to the San Mateo-Foster City School District providing programming in music, art, literacy, STEM education, and after-school athletics.

Let's keep it going!
