Business Services Charitable Fund

About the Fund

The Business Services Charitable Fund supports professional development and capacity-building for administrative and business staff across Los Angeles County school districts and charter agencies. Donations to this fund help make possible a range of business services events, including LACOE’s annual School Financial Services Professional Development Day. This event brings together staff from local education agencies (LEAs) for training led by experts in finance, procurement, budget, payroll, human resources, and more—all at no cost to participants.

The Impact

Districts and charter agencies across Los Angeles County depend on strong business operations to meet the demands of public education. From financial reporting to payroll, retirement systems, and regulatory compliance, administrative teams play a vital role—often with limited resources.

Support from this fund helps strengthen operational excellence and administrative effectiveness. Contributions promote best practices, professional learning, and continuous improvement in finance, human resources, and payroll—ensuring business operations are efficient, compliant, and aligned to the needs of school communities.

Your Support in Action

Support for this fund enables high-impact professional development opportunities that would not otherwise be available. From hosting large-scale events to expanding access to subject matter expertise across SFS teams, every contribution helps build the skills and knowledge of those working behind the scenes to keep schools running smoothly.
