Awarding Grants For More Than 25 Years...
Our foundation is dedicated to providing resources so that each student’s quality education continues and thrives in the years to come.

Grant proposals span a rich range of topics such as reading and literature, character education, photography, entrepreneurship, history, math, computer, foreign language, dance, art, music, science, community service, physical education, leadership and job skills.
