Ensuring a High Quality education.

Picture
Together we are stronger.

This year LGEF, Music Boosters, and our five Home & School Clubs (Blossom Hill, Daves Avenue, Lexington, Van Meter and Fisher) have joined together to consolidate back-to-school fundraising into a single campaign.   

Your contribution still goes to the same place it always has - directly to your school to fund vital programs and essential staff. We have simply streamlined the process to make it easier for you to donate once.

Our goal is 100% participation by all families - more than ever your school needs your support.

Please visit www.onecommunitylg.org to learn more and to make a contribution today.

About Us

Our mission

LGEF raises essential funds that ensure the children of Blossom Hill, Daves Avenue, Lexington and Louise Van Meter Elementary schools and Raymond J. Fisher Middle school receive high-quality programs and resources vital to their education.
​
Los Gatos schools receive less per student from the state and federal government than other, similar schools. LGEF helps “fill the gap” by funding teachers and staff that help educate the whole child.  ​Learn more about what we fund.

See the complete LGEF Vision, Mission and Values.
​Our history

LGEF was founded in 1982 in response to a state budget crisis which threatened sudden cuts in teaching staff.  Since its founding in 1982, LGEF has contributed over $16 million to Los Gatos schools.​

Today Los Gatos Education Foundation (LGEF) is a volunteer-run, 501c3 non-profit organization that raises private funds through our annual giving campaigns to support the students at Blossom Hill, Daves Avenue, Lexington and Louise Van Meter Elementary Schools and Raymond J. Fisher Middle School.
