Looking for more information about one of the following?
The Bensalem Education Foundation (BEF) is a group of community and school volunteers who work to get more resources to benefit students in the Bensalem Township School District. We are a federally-recognized public charity (501c3). We raise money for things the schools need that are not part of the budget. We provide an opportunity for teachers and administrators to apply for outside grants that require a non-profit entity as a sponsor, and because we are a non-profit, businesses and individuals can now donate to the school and get tax deductions for their donations.
2023-2024 First Mondays
The First Mondays program is going well. For $50 for the year or $5 each month, teachers and staff can dress in their Bensalem Spirit gear on the first Monday that school is in session each month. Half of the funds raised in this program go into the Spirit account for the building in which they work and half are used for other BEF programming. Thank you to everyone who participates.
Dates for the 2023-2024 school year are:
Sept. 11, 2023 Feb. 5, 2024
Oct. 2, 2023 Mar. 4, 2024
Nov. 6, 2023 Apr. 8, 2024

Power Up! Program provides BEF with income when people choose Stream Energy!
We are all looking for ways to support our favorite causes while still being conscious of family budgets. Bensalem Education Foundation has partnered with Stream Energy to assist our supporters in helping us by simply doing something they already do: pay their energy bill. Stream Energy's unique Power Up! Program helps raise funds by paying us monthly commissions when our supporters enroll for their electricity or natural gas service through Bensalem Education Foundation.
The Power Up! Program is an excellent fundraising campaign for us because everybody uses energy already, and the commissions we receive are paid monthly for the duration of your relationship with Stream Energy. There’s no extra out-of-pocket cost for you, and we benefit on an ongoing basis every month.
