Parents united for excellence — ensuring every Sea King has the tools to succeed.
Why the CDM Foundation Exists
California ranks among the lowest states in per-pupil spending, which means public schools like Corona del Mar often lack critical resources. The CDM Foundation is a parent-led nonprofit that funds programs, technology, facilities, and tools our students need to thrive.
We work in close partnership with administrators, faculty, and community members to ensure our school remains one of the best in the state—academically, artistically, and athletically.

Make a Direct Impact.
The Foundation invests 100% of the money raised in campaigns to programs and initiatives that our public-school system no longer funds.
Partnering with other parent groups and the NMUSD, The CDM Foundation has helped Corona del Mar become a nationally recognized school.
We’ve been hard at work funding facility improvements, lab equipment, and student programs.
The Learning Resource Center (LRC) replaced the outdated library, giving our students a welcoming place to study and work in collaborative groups before, between, and after classes.
The LRC is open from 7:30 to 4:00 when school is in session.
The Technology Center—home of the Robotics program—and other computer and technology equipment.
The renovated Health Center, Attendance Office, Main Quad and Gymnasiums.
