I can’t believe that summer vacation is over or that my kids—along with all Oakland students—have been back in school for a month already. I love the fresh start of a new school year with its opportunities for kids to learn, grow, and explore their world. And I appreciate the contagious energy of our Oakland educators who inspire their students to imagine an exciting, successful future.
At the Ed Fund, we’re invested in our kids’ future, too. We believe that every student in Oakland deserves access to that kind of exceptional and equitable education. That’s why we are committed to bringing our schools the resources they need to uplift our students and empower them to reach their full potential.
Of course, we can’t do this work alone—we need you! You can become a vital part of our mission by becoming a monthly donor. Your generous contributions, no matter the amount, help Oakland students reach their potential.
These are just a few of the ways you’ll make a difference…
Enhance Classroom Learning: Your contributions enable us to equip classrooms with modern technology, books, and teaching materials, creating an enriching and stimulating learning environment.
Foster Community Engagement: Your support helps us build strong connections between schools and communities by creating opportunities for volunteers to serve as tutors, mentors, readers, presenters, and more.
Support Educators: Monthly donors help us invest in our teachers, providing them with professional development opportunities, and recognizing their hard work and dedication to Oakland’s students.
We believe that a well-rounded and equitable education is a fundamental right for all students and with your ongoing support, we can make this vision a reality. Will you join us?
Thank you for being a champion for the students of Oakland!
With gratitude,
Ali Medina
Executive Director
Oakland Public Education Fund
