About LAX COASTAL EDUCATION FOUNDATION

LAX Coastal Education Foundation (LAXCEF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Los Angeles that raises funds, awards grants, and runs community programs to support K–12 schools in the LAX coastal neighborhoods (Westchester, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista, Del Rey, Marina del Rey and nearby communities). The foundation operates recurring community-facing events (race/expo, spelling bee, art show, school expo) to both raise unrestricted funds and enable schools to fundraise directly; it also manages competitive grant programs for STEM, arts, and school beautification. In recent years LAXCEF has run corporate-partnered grant programs (for example with SoCalGas), distributed multi-school STEM awards for the 2023–2024 school year, and continued its annual Rock Roll & Run fundraising event and student competitions.
