The mission of the Los Angeles County Education Foundation (the Foundation) is to provide leadership for the continuing improvement of education and to contribute to the growth and well-being of all children in Los Angeles County. The Foundation was incorporated in 1996 under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is the legally-separate nonprofit affiliate of the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE). In addition to assisting selected LACOE and school district programs, the Foundation has three main priorities:
- Science and Outdoor Education -- owning and operating Blue Sky Meadow and many programs under the Blue Sky Meadow Science Institute; increasing outdoor opportunities for disabled children and youth
- Services for Students Who are Low-income, Disabled, or Under Court Supervision -- increasing vocational and transition opportunities for youth in probation camp schools; providing home tutoring for deaf children and their parents; supporting opportunities for children with special needs
- School Readiness -- assisting with preschool and school readiness program expansion; sponsoring activities to increase access to early developmental screening and follow-up services in high-need communities
Contributions to the Foundation and its programs, including Blue Sky Meadow, are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.
