Bolinas Stinson Beach School Foundation
Our Mission
The Bolinas-Stinson Beach School Foundation was created by parents and community members in 1997 to help raise money for special programs and projects. Our purpose is to provide funding for curriculum enrichment to the Bolinas-Stinson School in the areas of art, drama, literature, math, music, physical education, and STEM. Year after year, your generous support has enabled The Bolinas-Stinson Beach School Foundation, a nonprofit 501C3, to do exactly this by broadly enriching our students’ holistic education and development. The School Foundation’s mission is to support and enable our exceptional teachers while also making extra-curricular programs – led by teachers and treasured community members - accessible to any child. These programs are a vital means of fostering enthusiasm for the arts and sciences in our children and providing a truly holistic, community-centered educational experience that is so unique to Bolinas and Stinson Beach.
Our Umbrella Organization
We've consistently grown, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community! Today, in addition to providing scholarships, we support several additional Bolinas child-centric organizations through fiscal sponsorship, allowing their important programs to operate tax-free under our non-profit umbrella. Your contributions help us provide back end support such as accounting services to Young Stewards of the Land, Bolinas Stinson Internet Access, Euphorbia Gardens, and the Bolinas Bike Path renovation initiative.
Our Goals
Our goal is to raise a minimum of $20,000 per year to keep the magic going and further enrich our educational experience for our children. Also, we hope to provide the school with a new sound system in 2023 to support its performing arts program. We kindly ask for your help in reaching this goal in the following ways:
