Since 1981, the BEF has provided more than $5 million to support excellence and innovation in all Brookline Public Schools, from kindergarten through grade 12. BEF grants often provide the impetus for important initiatives and programmatic innovations in our schools in areas such as technology, literacy, science and math education, and social and physical enrichment programs.

The BEF is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Thank you for your donation.
