Why The Need
The San Mateo-Foster City Education Foundation (SMFCEF) 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.
The SMFCEF raises funds and partners with 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.​ To date, we have granted more than $9.4 million to the San Mateo-Foster City School District.

Your financial contributions allow the SMFCEF to provide equitable access, opportunities, and experiences to all schools and students in our district.
