Donate
Your Donation Supports all Burlingame Public Schools
The Burlingame Community Education Foundation relies on generous support from parents, businesses and community members to maintain its outstanding schools. Donations to BCE provide our schools with funding for enhancing the educational experience for every child in Burlingame.
Our suggested donation amount is $2,000 per student, but every dollar makes a difference. Consider joining our Scholars Circle by making a donation of $4,000 or more.
Donate from a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) are a tax-efficient way to manage charitable donations. They allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time.
You can donate to BCE from your Donor Advised Fund using DAF Direct.
If your donor advised fund is not listed here, please contact your adviser at your DAF sponsoring organization directly to make your recommendation. If you do not wish to make your DAF grant recommendation via DAF Direct, please direct your DAF sponsoring organization to make checks payable to The Burlingame Community for Education Foundation for the Future and mail to:

Some employer programs allow employees to donate through a company portal and have their donations matched automatically. Others require submitting proof of a donation through a company portal. Helpful information below should you need it for submitting:

“Please thank yourselves. You’re very special people. What you’re doing is going to help a lot of kids….and when they grow up, they will realize how much you have done for them. Keep on giving as much as you can afford… and maybe a little bit more!”
Ron Burks, co-founder of BCE
(1981 along with Doug Bowlus)
The BCE fundraising cycle and fiscal year run from July 1 through June 30.
The funds raised during that time are granted to the Burlingame School District to be used the following school year.
