The EastLake Educational Foundation (EEF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation established in 1995 with the mission of raising funds to support the highest quality educational opportunities in the public schools within the community of EastLake in Chula Vista, California.

Since our inception, the EEF has been successful in bringing together businesses, local residents, school staff and families in support of our mission to develop and enhance technology in the classroom.

Through community support, the EEF has been able to provide over $1,150,000 to equally benefit all six EastLake public schools. Our schools include EastLake Elementary, Olympic View Elementary, Arroyo Vista Charter Elementary, Salt Creek Elementary, EastLake Middle and Eastlake High.

At the end of each fiscal year net proceeds are divided and disbursed with a granting process. Each school submits a formal proposal to the EEF Board of Directors for funding approval. Typically, grant monies are used to develop or enhance technology programs at each school. The majority of our funding has gone toward program development, equipment, and enhancements for technology services at the schools—programs that are either poorly funded through traditional means or have no existing funding base through the public school districts. Sources of revenue for the EEF have included private grants as well as business/corporate, individual monetary donations, sponsorships and participation in various fund raising events and activities.

We are proud that the EEF is recognized by the local school districts, our school principals, staff, parents, residents and businesses as not only being an important financial supporter of our schools, but a true partner in creating strong community involvement in education. Members of our Board of Directors, all volunteers, live and/or work within the community, have a strong commitment to our mission and dedicate many volunteer hours in on-going support of our public schools.
