The Mardi Lowry McDonough Student Opportunity Fund & Grant program has unlocked countless programs and initiatives for students, thanks to the generosity of donors. Contributions fund innovative projects led by educators at every school across the district.
Distributed in the fall and spring every year, grants have funded 150+ proposals submitted by teachers and administrators. In total, nearly $225,000 has been awarded, thanks to the generosity of donors. From STEM learning and literacy to music education and extracurricular activities, these grants make an immediate, tangible impact on the lives of students.
The number of grant applications has increased significantly, with more than 100 requests totaling over $100,000 in the most recent cycle. The success of this program hinges on the support of our donors, whose contributions help make innovative, high-impact projects a reality. Your support ensures that students experience dynamic learning opportunities that go beyond the classroom, helping them thrive academically, creatively, and socially.
