SchoolPower
SchoolPower is the LBUSD education foundation that raises private dollars to fund district programs. Founded in 1981 as a 501(c)(3) (EIN 95-3565451), it self-describes as "the oldest education foundation in Orange County." The board approves district proposals and SchoolPower decides which to fund — its core programs are Educator Grants, Family Support Services & Scholarships, After-School Enrichment, and the Athletics Fund, plus a separately-governed Endowment. SchoolPower has no governance role over the district itself. Past trustees and presidents from SchoolPower have moved into LBUSD board service and into other advocacy roles (including FUEL leadership).
