See a Foundation Grant in Action!

Step inside a real classroom moment made possible by donors like you. Ride along with us to Jess Harben Elementary, where a creative teacher used a grant from the Foundation to turn a science lesson into an unforgettable Forces & Motion pep rally. Watch how hands-on learning sparks curiosity, excitement—and a whole lot of smiles.

Thank you to our Premier Patrons who generously give $25,000 or more in a single year!
