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 28th 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?

Thanks to community support, MEF granted $2,835,000 to the Moraga schools this year. These grants make a significant impact on the quality of education your child receives. At JM, your contributions fund:

• 9 Sections of Electives
• Art Teachers
• Music Teachers
• Supplies for all Departments
• Counselors
• Wellness Center
• Librarian
• Library Books & Materials

These people and programs would not exist at JM without community support. Learn more about the impact of your MEF contributions at JM.
