Education

We believe today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders—and their success will shape the future of our communities and our country. The Foundation is committed to supporting access to higher education and ensuring quality K–12 public education. By helping children and adults pursue their educational goals, we’re also investing in the strength of our local economy. Our education grants primarily fund capital projects, scholarships, and student support services, with a current focus on advancing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs. Below is a list of education grants in FY24.
