A Donation to MEF is a Donation to Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School

100% of JM students benefit from the Moraga Education Foundation grants to the Moraga School District, so we ask that 100% of families contribute to MEF’s Annual Giving Campaign.

What is the Moraga Education Foundation?

The Moraga Education Foundation (MEF) is the primary fundraising organization for all Moraga public school students TK-12th grade, including JM. MEF’s mission is to raise funds to bridge the gap between state education funding and the real cost of educating our children.

Why Should I Donate?

Public education is free, but excellent public education is not.

Many people think that because of our high property values, we have well-funded schools. But that isn’t the case. California ranks 32nd in per-pupil funding, and Moraga is one of the lowest-funded districts in the state. State funding only covers the basics - your contributions make our schools excellent.

Where Does the Money Go?
