Thanks to the more than 1,000 donors last year, the BEF was able to grant: 

  • $18,000 in funding for the arts in BPS, including sending every fourth-grade student to a live performance of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and bringing in a range of professional musicians to work with high school students. 
  • $12,500 in support for Character Education initiatives, including programming at Berkshire and Derby Middle Schools.
  • $7,000 for supporting mental health programs at both high schools. 
  • Nearly $28,000 in grants for Makerspaces and STEAM-related programs, including robotics teams at every level, family nights at elementary schools, and support for the new Makerspace at Groves, with a commitment to match the funding at Seaholm next year. 
  • Nearly $25,000 in funding to support reading and literacy initiatives at all levels, from supporting classroom libraries, to family nights to help struggling readings, to purchasing new collections of books for libraries. 
The Birmingham Education Foundation is only able to offer this support to our schools because of you and hundreds more like you. Thank you for giving to support the excellent education happening in Birmingham Public Schools! If you'd like to make sure that you're included in next year's honor roll, click here to give today! You can also choose to join more than 250 BPS staff members in making a recurring donation to the BEF. 

If you see any changes than need to be made to the honor roll, please email Alison Hendry at [email protected].
