BEF Supports PIE:
Partners in Education!
In our valley, in order to meet the most basic educational needs of our children, special
programs, such as music, art and outdoor education, may not receive adequate funding.
The Basalt Education Foundation helps to change that.

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to giving all of Basalt's children the
opportunity to grow and explore areas of education that go beyond reading and writing - into
music, art and beyond.

Last year we donated over $35,000 to Basalt's three public schools. Money raised through the
annual Taste of Basalt benefit bought instruments for music classrooms, art supplies, books
and resource materials, and funded a host of special academic programs.

As budget cuts for education continue to come down from the Colorado Legislature, valley
residents know that community fundraising can make a big difference.
Please help us make the future beautiful for ALL of Basalt’s school children.
Grants from The Taste of Basalt help defer the costs of many outdoor education
trips. Above: Second grade students snowshoe on Aspen Mountain with ACES.

Aspen Deaf Camp.
