Carlsbad Educational Foundation

The Carlsbad Educational Foundation (CEF), is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1983 to raise private support for public education and contribute to the enrichment of nearly 11,000 students in the Carlsbad Unified School District. Guided by a comprehensive strategic plan, CEF focuses its efforts in three primary impact areas: hands-on science, district-wide music, and educational innovation. These impact areas are supported by local teachers, administrators, parents and the community as enhancements that can make life-changing differences for our students. The foundation has contributed over $7 million in targeted grants for programs in Carlsbad schools-programs that would otherwise not be possible in California’s current school funding environment.
