Bowman Education Foundation (BEF) is a volunteer-driven non-profit founded in 2011 to support Ackerman Charter School District. Our primary objective is to provide resources to the Ackerman Charter School District to sustain a challenging and enriching educational experience that maximizes the learning potential of every student. 
WHAT WE FUND
BEF supports a variety of projects, including classroom and enrichment supplies as well as facilities improvements that directly enhance students’ learning. Classroom projects give teachers the opportunity to offer a richer learning experience and would not be available without the foundation's support.
​
The types of classroom improvements we have funded in past years include a stage and backdrops for theatrical and music performances, overhead LCD projectors, voice amp systems and SMART boards® for every classroom, flex seating, computer mice, musical instruments, library books, and ceramics supplies. We’ve also funded online curriculum programs to help students build 21st century skills and  improvement projects  to enhance students’ experience in larger-group settings outside the classroom.
​WHAT'S NEW
BEF's Big Day of Giving online fundraiser is coming up May 4, 2023. Our goal this year is to raise funds to:
  • Support and enhance social and emotional learning at Bowman.
  • Help with Bowman's long-term "Build the Fields" project 
  • Continue our support of Bowman's drama and music programs.
​Thanks to the generosity of many individual donors and local business partners, we were able to raise over $13,000 in 2022. We used those funds to purchase over 400 new books for the school library and also to build an amazing Outdoor Pavillion gathering and dining/social space, which is used by most students every day.
