The Alhambra School District Foundation was incorporated as a non-profit organization in September 1993.  The name of the foundation was changed to the Alhambra Educational Foundation in 2004. The purpose of the Foundation is to raise funds to augment the instructional programs for children of the Alhambra Unified School District. The Foundation is governed by a board of directors consisting of volunteer members from the community. The Board meets monthly, on the third Monday of the month, at the school district offices located at 15 West Alhambra Road. Meetings begin at 6:00 pm and are open to the public.

In the past, the Foundation has raised thousands of dollars which have been used to purchase computers, internet access, Automated External Defibrillators for each site, reading incentives for high school students, library and classroom books, disaster preparedness equipment and materials, uniforms and instruments for the All District Band, and more. In addition, the Foundation organizes and funds: an Authors Festival which brings authors, illustrators, and storytellers to meet with students at all our elementary schools; Reading is Fundamental (RIF), which provides every kindergarten student in the district with three books to take home to keep during the year; and Student Leadership Seminars, which bring together the elected officers of all of our schools for training and exchanging ideas to improve our schools and communities. The Foundation financially supports staff with teacher mini-grants, principal’s discretionary funds, the AVID and the DARE programs.
