Gresham-Barlow Education Foundation
"Bringing Great Things to the Classroom"
The Gresham-Barlow Education Foundation partners with businesses and the community to fund increased academic opportunities to help students be successful.
GBEF was formed in 1994 to assist the schools of the Gresham-Barlow School District in providing the best possible educational opportunities for its students. We have become even more dedicated to this cause, and our efforts have become even more important, given the current climate of school funding in Oregon.
We are a legally designated non-profit organization; all donated funds are accounted for separately from the school district and are fully tax deductible. Learn more About Us!
Currently, our fundraising focuses on technology and literacy programs. We work with GBSD staff and schools to determine which projects or programs need funding. GBEF raises funds through individual gifts, business partnerships, community events, grants, and the $crip program.
