Founding Members
The Friends of Moraga Schools program was founded in 2024. It was inspired by a large gift from a long-time community donor who wanted to inspire others to give. To commemorate the founding of this program, we have established two special levels of giving.
Founding Members give a total of at least $6,000 during the three Giving Campaigns ending on June 30, 2027.
Golden Pear Founding Members give a total of at least $25,000 during the three Giving Campaigns ending on June 30, 2027.
If you would like to become a Founding Member, either make a contribution of the relevant amount by the end of the 2026-2027 Campaign, or reach out to us at MEF@moragaeducation.org. We look forward to talking with you!

An Investment in The Community
Community members know that even if they don’t have children in Moraga’s schools, they still benefit from living in a town with excellent schools.
Whatever the motivation - whether it’s to support local property values, pay forward the excellent education their grown children received, or just supporting the education of today’s students, we appreciate their investment!
Thank You!
