BEI Vision

Bend Education Initiative (BEI) was created to meet the educational needs of people in our local community and across the globe. We strive to support accessible education for individuals at all stages of life. We believe that financial barriers do not need to be the limiting factor in the pursuit of knowledge and skill development, and we work to provide resources for underserved populations. By partnering with local and international organizations, we provide resources that enable people to meet their full potential.
You can learn more about our current projects, as well as how to donate. We thank you for your support!

Who We Are

Bend Education Initiative is made up of local and international members hoping to make an impact in our communities. Our organization is entirely volunteer-based, meaning that all donations go directly to serve the communities in need.

Board of Directors:
Neil Marchington, Chair
