SEF on your site

Nov 28, 2023

It’s amazing what we can do when we work together for our children: $150k+ for art, music, science camp, field trips, gardens, JEDI books, intervention and more over the 22-23 school year! This month on our facebook page we’ve been sharing the impact at each of the ten school sites we support. Highlights are also shared here on our Schools page. 

We hope that, if the impact SEF is making for our students speaks to you, you’ll support our work for the 23-24 school year, whether it’s part of #GivingTuesday or your end of year donations. Sunnyvale Ed Foundation is on your site and making a difference.  #sunnyvaleedfoundationonyoursite.

2022-23 SEF School Grants: $102k

Feb 16, 2023

SEF has granted $102,000 this school year!

2022-23 SEF School Grants: $102k

SEF helps fulfill student enrichment needs and wishes on every campus in Sunnyvale School District with school-specific grants. In the fall, 2022-2023 SEF awarded $102,000 in funding to support after-school enrichment, arts and music, JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) resources, learning experiences (field trips, assemblies), outdoor classroom or garden spaces, STEM (science, technology, engineering, math), and whole child wellness programs and resources.

Field trip support continues to be the most popular request from our schools, and SEF is proud to be able to help create more opportunities for students to get out and explore.

The various activities and resources funded by SEF school grants substantially benefit families and students who are socio-economically disadvantaged as well as English Language Learners, according to grantees.

According to school principals, 75% of the activities and resources SEF school grants support this school year would likely not have been possible without SEF’s support.

Choral Risers at Columbia Middle School

Dec 13, 2018

The Sunnyvale Education Foundation was happy to put money towards choral risers at Columbia Middle School. They have a fabulous music program; music classes teach not only musicianship, but also creativity. 

“Education in the arts leads to valued employee creativity in the engineering and science fields.”  – Andrea C.

We’re so proud to support music and the arts!

How we helped: Science at Columbia Middle School

Dec 4, 2018

Sunnyvale Education Foundation is proud to have donated $800 toward an event with the Marine Science Institute at Columbia Middle School.

“We really enjoy having the Marine Science Institute come to our school and visit our 7th graders. The students truly value the experience of seeing adaptations in real life, especially considering how animals are from a local source. Thank you for helping make it happen!”
– Evvy Elwood, Science teacher.
