About us

Working to ensure that every student has access to a quality education.

The Montebello Unified School District Foundation (MUSD Foundation) was founded by local business leaders, community members and former MUSD administrators to help close the state and federal funding gap by raising funds for educational resources across MUSD. 

Today, that legacy lives on through the continued support of many of those individuals as well as others that have dedicated their lives to the advancement of our communities through the power of education.

While the MUSD Foundation is independently operated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, it works closely with the MUSD Board of Education and the entire district to help ensure access to a quality education for all MUSD students.
