Empowering Education

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

The Bandon Educational Foundation is made of of thoughtful, committed residents of our beautiful, seaside community. We are parents, former teachers, school administrators, business leaders, and invested citizens who are willing to do whatever it takes to support our schools' children in their journey towards success.

The Bandon Educational Foundation brings together the passion, vision and resources of our local community in the unity of purpose of providing Bandon kids with quality education, opportunities for the future, and a safe and nurturing learning environment.

This community's support is critical to the BEF's efforts to:

• Fund scholarships for Bandon graduates
• Bring quality drug & bullying prevention education to our schools
• Support Career and Technical programs in the classroom
• Improve the Arts offerings of our school district
• Maintain and improve our community's learning facilities

Our foundation is committed to working closely with the Bandon School District, our school Superintendent, the School Board, and the families and teachers of our community's students.

As we gain momentum in the community, we look forward to opening up to community partnerships, relationships with businesses and civic groups, and the mobilization of our community's incredible volunteers - all in the name of ensuring that Bandon's kids receive the best possible start to their future!
