Mission
Oak Park Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides crucial financial support to all of the Oak Park Schools, filling the gap between state funding and the per-pupil cost of educating our kids. For Oak Park Schools to sustain the high quality education that makes it one of California’s highest-performing school districts, we must significantly increase the funding through philanthropic gifts from parents and our community.
Vision
Oak Park Education Foundation supports additional people and programs to enhance educational experiences to keep our schools ranked among one of the best in California.
About OPEF

OPEF strives to meet its missions:
- The Oak Park Education Foundation’s (OPEF) goal is to preserve Oak Park’s small class sizes, innovative academics, career enrichment programs and safe and secure campus environments.
- To make OPUSD schools remain in the top 1% in California and among the best in the nation.
