The Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham seeded BEF with a grant of $256,000 from a component fund, the Birmingham City Schools Education Fund, created with a gift from the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce Foundation in 2002.

“We know the power of a shared vision and pooled gifts to create transformational change,” said Karen Rolen, Vice President Community Investment for the Community Foundation and a BEF board member. “We believe this grant will inspire others who want to support what our community wants for its schools.”

You can make a gift through the secure on-line donation site of the Community Foundation or by sending a check or making a gift of stock or other assets through the Community Foundation at 2100 First Avenue North, Birmingham AL 35203.
