After a generous donation, 24 new laptops were purchased for the children.

Juliana Lee - Founder of the Juliana Lee Foundation, along with Nicki Smith - Principle of The Ohlone School, Sarah A. - Staff Member at Ohlone, and students of the Ohlone School Juliana Lee’s Education Foundation

Our purpose is to support and improve public schools by targeting specific needs. Although our local schools are very good, they have important needs which lack funds. Teachers need discretionary money to implement enrichment and extra curricular activities. The Juliana Lee Foundation, a 501c3 exempt organization, matches individual donations by doubling their value and donating yearly to PiE and Palo Alto Unified School District PTA at different sites.

If you would like to help and make a donation

Please make checks payable to: Juliana Lee Foundation Send to: Juliana Lee Foundation 505 Hamilton Ave, Ste 100, Palo Alto, CA 94301 For more information contact please call: (408) 418-6250 or email: [email protected]
