Established in 2008, the Bonsall Education Foundation (BEF) is committed to encouraging a positive sense of community, collaboration among all district organizations and awareness of the need for private funds for public education. We are a small foundation that serves only the Bonsall Unified School District. With under 2,500 students in our district, we offer big programs that cater to each school's needs for educational enrichment.

Founded by a group of BUSD parents and current Bonsall High School teacher Danny Costa, BEF set out to fulfill a need during lean times. "School districts all over were cutting out arts and other extracurricular opportunities, and we just knew that our students deserve more," said Costa.

The foundation raises money through various sponsored events like the Bonsall High School Car Show, the BUSD golf tournament, to support athletics, theater, arts, the garden program, and more, as well as teacher requests that help purchase supplies and other educational materials.
