Welcome!
We’re so glad you’ve come to learn about the incredible work and legacy of Dr. Marcus Foster and the Marcus Foster Education Institute. Founded by Oakland’s first African American Superintendent of Schools, MFEI is the oldest education equity institute in the country. Today, as schools and families continue to wrestle with the negative impacts of the COVID19 disruptions, MFEI remains at the forefront, providing support to educators, scholars and their families.
Since inception, MFEI has distributed nearly $10 million in aid to support over 5,000 scholars – the majority being first generation college students. As we commemorate 50 years of service, the Board is undertaking a comprehensive evaluation and reorganization. The Board of Directors is committed to carrying Dr. Foster’s legacy forward. On our site you’ll learn about Dr. Foster and the work of MFEI. We welcome your support.

Thank you for your support,
Board of Directors
