About The Foundation for Belmont Education (FBE)

The Foundation is a community-sponsored, non-profit, charitable organization run by volunteers. The FBE was founded in 1993 to support educational excellence and enrichment in the Belmont Public Schools and is a 501(c)3) charitable organization dedicated to making a difference in the Belmont Public Schools. Thanks to donations from thousands of Belmont residents and businesses over the years, the FBE has granted more than $2.8 million to the Belmont Public Schools to support numerous projects initiated and organized by administrators, teachers and staff. While the Foundation cannot substitute for public support of education through tax dollars, the funds it raises play a pivotal role in fostering the creativity of teachers, engaging the interest of students, and sustaining the tradition of excellence that has characterized the Belmont Public Schools for so many years.
