About

The Oakland Schools Foundation (OSF) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2003 by a group of principals and Oakland community leaders.

The Oakland Schools Foundation is dedicated to promoting excellence in Oakland's public schools so that all of our students have the opportunity to achieve. OSF is the only organization focused on securing and managing resources and providing expert operational and fundraising services for those Oakland schools that serve primarily low-income students.

OSF has nine staff members who have helped schools raise $20 million in public and private funds since 2003. To learn more about these are other results, please see our Results and Impact document.

The Oakland Schools Foundation supports OUSD's vision for full-service community schools. See our fact sheet illustrating how our services align with the district's goals.
