Grants made from the Foundation’s endowed funds will, in most cases, be targeted toward projects that help the District provide students with the skills, knowledge, and expertise they need to succeed in today’s workplace and in their personal life. This includes mastery of core subjects such as science, reading, history, language arts, and math.
