Support the BEF
DOLLARS FOR THE DISTRICT
The Berkley Education Foundation was formed in 2000 to serve as the fundraising arm of the district. Past support has allowed us to provide enhanced opportunities to improve the student experience across the district and to supplement educator programs, technology, and enrichment activities and annual teacher grants.
We raise funds throughout the year with proceeds from honorariums, employee payroll contributions, our signature event “Off to the Races,” and more. However, the biggest part of our funding comes directly from you, our generous stakeholders, and we hope you’ll consider giving to the Berkley Education Foundation.
Whether a gift within your means is $25, $2,500 or somewhere in between, please be assured that your tax-deductible donation will go directly back into the classrooms.
To make a donation:
- Write a check to the Berkley Education Foundation. Mail it to BEF, 14501 Talbot, Oak Park, MI 48237
- Use your credit card – visit the BEF's donation page to make a one-time donation or set up a monthly deduction/withdrawal.
Your gift to the Berkley Education Foundation is 100% tax deductible to the extent of the law.
