100% PTA-PTSA Support

What an incredible response from our Santa Monica PTAs & PTSAs!

Last spring, every single school PTA stepped up with generous donations to the Ed Foundation, helping us reach our fundraising goal and demonstrating the power of our partnership! The collaboration between SMEF and our dedicated PTA and PTSA leadership is truly the backbone of our success, and we are beyond grateful for their unwavering support.

SMEF ❤️ SMMUSD Employees

Thank you to the incredible SMMUSD employees, who not only devote themselves to nurturing our children every day but who also chose to support the Ed Foundation through annual donations and monthly payroll deductions. The commitment of these donors exemplifies the profound impact of individual contributions and reinforces our shared commitment to excellence in public education.

Have you heard about our Leadership & Superintendent’s Donor Circles?

These recognition circles honor our generous donors who contribute $2,500 or more to the Annual Fund. By joining these circles, you not only gain exclusive perks such as early access to coveted Wine Auction tickets and year-round recognition, but at the Sup Circle level of $5,000 and above, you will also have the unique opportunity to connect personally with Superintendent Dr. Antonio Shelton and our dedicated school principals at an exclusive reception.

We invite you to become part of this inspiring collective effort, helping to ensure equitable access to quality education for every child.
