Santa Monica Education Foundation raises money to fund additional school staff and programs
that enhance the curriculum at Franklin and
all public schools in Santa Monica.

Your generous contribution is the most important component in fully supporting
your child’s educational experience.

The Ed Foundation strives to develop a diverse funding base and relies on multiple sources for its major support for funded programs. In addition to parent donations, local businesses, corporations, and foundations also contribute to the Ed Foundation. This year, the Santa Monica Ed Foundation’s goal is to have 60% of Franklin Families participate in reaching their annual goal! Contributions made to the Ed Foundation in the current academic year support programs in the following academic year.

Without donations from parents, we would not be able to have these staff members or programs at Franklin. Please donate ANY amount today - every dollar counts!
