We focus on targeted grants to have an outsized impact:

While we are aligned with Evanston/Skokie District 65, we have found that our grantmaking is most impactful at the grassroots level. This means providing funding outside of and independent of District resources, along with the support to incubate promising new programs until the District can adopt them.

Foundation 65’s support was instrumental in empowering our students, especially those with special needs, to experience hands-on science in a way that fostered both academic growth and a sense of belonging.

Thanks to the grant from Foundation 65, my students are excited to go home to do math, read books, and write with their families. You cannot put a price on their joy and love of learning that they can now share with their families.
