THE BENSALEM EDUCATION FOUNDATION (BEF) IS A GROUP OF COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS WHO WORK TO GET MORE RESOURCES TO BENEFIT STUDENTS IN THE BENSALEM TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE ARE A FEDERALLY-RECOGNIZED PUBLIC CHARITY 501(C)(3). WE RAISE MONEY FOR THINGS THE SCHOOLS NEED THAT ARE NOT PART OF THE BUDGET. WE PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS TO APPLY FOR OUTSIDE GRANTS THAT REQUIRE A NON-PROFIT ENTITY AS A SPONSOR, AND BECAUSE WE ARE A NON-PROFIT, BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS CAN NOW DONATE TO THE SCHOOLS AND GET TAX DEDUCTIONS FOR THEIR DONATIONS.
