Supporting Malibu’s Students in a Time of Need
The recent wildfire has deeply impacted our Malibu school community, displacing families and bringing new students into our classrooms. As we focus on helping our community rebuild, the Malibu Education Foundation—which funds essential staff and programs for all four Malibu public schools—is committed to ensuring our students have the academic and emotional support they need long term.
Wildfires, and the loss of learning with missed days of in-person instruction, leave lasting effects. With your support, we can provide the resources our students need to recover and thrive.
As a newly established foundation, our fundraising efforts were temporarily sidelined by this disaster, but the need has never been greater. If you are able, please consider donating to help us meet this critical moment. Every contribution makes a difference.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT – Support Malibu Schools While You Dine
Every 3rd Tuesday of the month, participating Malibu restaurants generously donate 10% of sales to the Malibu Education Foundation, directly funding staff and staffed programs at all four Malibu public schools.
By dining in or ordering takeout, you are supporting both local businesses and the educational programs that enrich our students' learning experience.
Participating restaurants for March 18th: Howdy’s Malibu * Malibu Sushi by Howdy * Ollo * Irv’s Burgers * Prince Street Pizza * Scott’s Malibu Market

Join us on Tuesday, March 18, and every 3rd Tuesday this year, to make a difference.
