Culver City Education Foundation

Remembering and celebrating the life and words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Culver City Education Foundation (CCEF) announces a $250,000 contribution from Amazon to support the much-needed renovation of an outdoor space for the primary campus of the Office of Child Development within the Culver City Unified School District (CCUSD). CCEF is the lead fundraising partner for CCUSD and raises funds for programs throughout the entire Culver City district, engaging over 7,000 students each year.

Today is the last day to make your year-end gift to CCEF! There are just a few hours left in our Year-End Drive -- and we're still short of our goal. Your gift of any amount will help sustain essential educational programs at every CCUSD school impacting over 7,000 students. And don't forget - any gift you make by the year-end deadline qualifies for this year's CARES Act tax benefit, allowing you to deduct up to $300 in charitable giving (even if you take the standard deduction).

Congratulations to Culver City High School graduate Isaiah Levels on winning the 2020 Congressional Art Competition. Isaiah's artwork has been selected to hang in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. for the next year. Isaiah, an AVPA art student who graduated in June, submitted his art earlier this year for the 2020 Karen Bass Congressional Art Competition and earned first place for his work entitled The Symbol of America: Freedom of Choice.... Since 1982, each spring the U.S. House of Representatives sponsors a nationwide high school arts contest designed to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of artists in our nation. To date, more than 650,000 high school students have been acknowledged and supported for their talents. Isaiah is currently studying architecture at Otis College of Art and Design and said his proudest accomplishment in high school was when, "my drawing was picked to be one of the murals by the bike path on Sepulveda." He was involved in AVPA, Ryman Arts and Workability during his time at CCHS. He said he will always remember, "Culver City High School because it represents the area that I grew up all my life, and it's fitting that I get to graduate from the district I was meant to be in." Your donations to CCEF help keep arts education programs strong at every CCUSD school!
