Community Organizations Awarded $457,000 in Funds for Educational Success

2018 Supporting Educational Success Grantees

The purposes of these grants is to support in and out of school educational efforts that reduce disparities in educational attainment for students of color and/or those of low socioeconomic status; or that increases social emotional learning and health. This funding could also be used to improve educational outcomes in math and science for at-risk students in grades 1-12 through increased access to STEM learning opportunities. Thanks to our generous donors we amplified this gift to the community by $45,000 through a recent giving circle and an additional $7,500 of support from GCF donor advised funds.
