Local Grants Lasting Impact
Local & Regional Grants
Beyond direct support for our students, the Foundation serves as fiscal agent for regional educational programs that strengthen East County and beyond. These partnerships extend our reach into adult education, workforce development, foster youth support, and binational health initiatives. Each program below operates with its own funding source and partners; the Foundation provides the administrative infrastructure that keeps them running.
