Burckhalter Elementary School
A neighborhood public school in East Oakland — and the place our giving began.
Why we support them
Francon was founded in Oakland, and we wanted our very first commitments to be felt close to home. Burckhalter Elementary sits in the East Oakland hills, serving the children of its neighborhood with warmth and ambition.
Supporting a school like Burckhalter is about more than any single program. It's a vote of confidence in the teachers who show up every morning, and in the children who deserve every chance to discover what they are capable of.
What they do
Burckhalter Elementary is a public school in the Oakland Unified School District, serving students from its surrounding community.
Everything we believe about opportunity starts in a classroom like this one.
