The San Leandro Education Foundation (SLED) is a non-profit community foundation established to support the role of public education in developing our community’s young people into well-grounded future citizens. Our co-founders realized that not all schools within our own district were able to fund important learning opportunities like Outdoor Education and field trips, so they established an education foundation to raise funds and provide programs for ALL students within SLUSD.

 Since our founding in 2008, we have been bringing the community together to accomplish these ideals. SLED has grown from a small all-volunteer organization with limited funding to a full volunteer board with Executive Director as staff, and has funded over $1.5 million of enriching programs and activities, benefiting thousands of students every year.
