Friends of Overland (FOO) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) Organization
EIN: 95-3994813
- Our charter is to raise money to support critical programs cut by LAUSD.
- Many of the donations made to FOO are tax deductible.
- Each family is an automatic FOO member.
- We have a Board of Directors and Officers who meet on the first Monday of each month, but all are encouraged to attend.
Friends of Overland helps to ensure that Overland Elementary remains the extraordinary public school it is today.
Each year, we raise money to fund the following academic year.
- FOO works with the administration and other parent groups to identify the financial needs for next year.
- Our fundraising subcommittees are set.
- New fundraising ideas are examined against current activities and the school schedule.

- PTA
- FOO Board and Committees
Over the years, we have limited the number of fundraisers that involve the parents donating money. We shifted our focus to include raising money from outside sources, such as corporations and foundations and our Friends & Family campaign.
