The Redondo Beach Education Foundation was formed in 1991 by a group of concerned parents and community leaders. They realized that an excellent school system could not rely on state funding alone and set out on a mission to lift the level of education for all Redondo Beach students. With an all-volunteer staff, RBEF continues to Raise the Tide with community-based fundraising that brings much-needed financial support to each Redondo Beach public school.
Our fund-raising efforts have a deeper impact than many people realize. RBEF has been instrumental in saving programs such as music, science, art and technology. More recently, we handed the district a check for $120,000 which rescinded two lay off notices and brought two elementary teachers back to the classroom.
Children are born learners and thrive in an environment where class sizes are limited and schools have the right resources and learning tools. We want to continue our mission but need your support more than ever before. Please help us by donating and joining RBEF's efforts to raise the tide for all children in RBUSD.

"the last hope for arts education in these economic times is for the parents of the district to come together as a community through their support of the Ed. Foundation. It may be the most effective way an active parent can augment their child's education."
