Year in Review

A Letter From the CCEF President & Executive Director

Together, we make great things happen!

Thanks to you, CCEF contributed $766,272 in 2018-19 to fund

transformative enrichment opportunities in science, technology,

engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) for all CCUSD

students. CCEF is proud to partner with individuals, foundations,

local businesses and corporations to elevate the quality of our

public schools in Culver City. Together, we have made the

following possible:

• Collaborative hands-on creative designing, experimenting,

and problem solving as students deeply engage in science,

engineering and tinkering in Makerspaces

• Literacy and history concepts brought to life through the

Front & Center Theatre Collaborative in all schools

• Teaching the healthy benefits of growing and eating vegetables through the GrowingGreat nutrition curriculum and school learning

gardens

• Music Education for all K-3 students, improving self-esteem,

listening and math skills, and inspiring creativity

• A prepaid college or trade-school application for EVERY eligible

Culver City High School student, regardless of need, encouraging

every senior to reach for their dreams - #iApplied

• Securing $400,000 in seed funding for the establishment of an

Arts Endowment managed by CCEF on behalf of CCUSD, with a

goal of creating stable long-term funding to sustain Arts Education

for generations of students to come

Looking ahead CCEF aims to raise even more funds to increase

access and equity for expanded STEAM programs. Together we

can inspire and prepare all our students for successful futures.
