Dear Community,
We are pleased to provide you with a financial summary of the past three fiscal years ending June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007. We want to thank you for your remarkable support of the Education Foundation's mission to ensure excellence in each of our five community schools by donating generously during an unprecedented economic downturn. While other districts have been forced to layoff teachers and eliminate programs, our schools have not. Over the past three years, BHEF has donated in excess of three million dollars to ensure excellence. Our actual grants and revenue have remained fairly consistent other than a spike in 2008 which is primarily due to the formation of the Beverly Hills Athletic Alumni Association which was under our umbrella until they established their own non-profit. Our summary represents an accrual method of accounting, as does our 990 filing, so the summary reflects the fact that funds raised in 2008-09 fund teachers and programs in 2009-2010. We have provided both the accrual and cash allocations to our schools to help you see what was actually provided through your donations in a given school year.
Our goal is to raise substantially more funds without increasing our expenses so that we can fulfill our promise to provide the very best possible education for our children.Strong public schools are not only good for our students but for our entire community and we ask you to help us. Because BHEF is part of the Beverly Hills Unified School District's budget, it is only through the ed foundation that you may donate to save teachers, maintain small class sizes, build an endowment, and enhance enrichment, artistic and athletic programs, so vital to our public schools' reputation of excellence.
The summary contains notes to explain the methods of accounting and provide a summary of our finances for the past few years. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to ensuring you that your dollars are working vigorously in our schools through your generosity to BHEF.
Thank you.

Notes
Financial Summary provided above reflects the accrual method of accounting which is the same method used for Income Tax Reporting.
Pledges to Support Schools reflect the accrual method of accounting - payments may be made in the current or subsequent fiscal year, but relate to the current fiscal year only. Grants to Support Schools reflect the cash method of accounting and are payments made in the current fiscal year regardless of the year they relate to.
BHEF received a donation in FYE 6/30/08 of $275,000 which was categorized as Unrestricted Income in that year.In FYE 6/30/09, the Gift was reclassified as Permanently Restricted Income and an Endowment Fund was created. In order to reclassify income from Unrestricted to Permanently Restricted in the subsequent year, an expense was journalized to offset the prior year reported Unrestricted Income.The effect to Net Income for FYE 6/30/09 is zero as a result of this adjustment and the type of income is now correctly categorized.
