Endowments

The Beverly Hills Education Foundation has an Endowment Fund, a permanent, self-sustaining fund will help ensure future excellence and innovation in our schools. The income from a carefully invested endowment fund will provide a more stable source of funding to school programs.
 
The Endowment Fund provides a practical way for families, alumni, businesses and others to make a long-term investment in the quality of our public schools and our children’s futures.
 
Who can give to the Beverly Hills Education Foundation Endowment Fund and how?

We invite our alumni, friends and neighbors to partner with us in providing an educational experience that will help our students realize their own capacities to the fullest. You are investing in an exciting legacy of discovery, creativity and leadership.
 
An endowment gift is one where the principal donation is maintained in perpetuity and only a portion of the annual investment return is spent. Surplus earnings are reinvested in the endowment so that over the years, the fund can grow and provide long-term financial security.
 
Gifts of cash, securities or other property provide the Endowment with immediate financial assistance.
