BCE helps Burlingame School District (BSD) sustain and enhance an exceptional public education for all TK-8th grade students. Working together with parents, the school district, community members and local businesses, we provide BSD with financial resources to create a rich and inspiring education for our children beyond what is possible with public funds. BCE is a volunteer-driven charitable organization incorporated in 1981. We are governed by an 20+ member volunteer Board of Directors and supported by staff. Parent volunteers from all seven school sites comprise the Board of Directors. Over 100 volunteers on the BCE VolunteerCorps and 100+ event volunteers plan and execute BCE’s annual fundraising campaign and events. We raise funds in one fiscal/school year (July 1-June 30). At the end of each school year, BCE provides a grant to the Burlingame School District for the immediate upcoming school year. The school district makes informed decisions about how the money will best serve our children’s educational needs.
