Our Mini Grant Program has grown, and grant recipients have been hard at work with creative projects, presentations, and enrichment programs for our students.

This is the Foundation's third year for awarding grants to innovative programs in the Haverford Township School District.

In this time, we've received a dozens of excellent proposals. Some take existing programs to a higher level, others look to form partnerships in areas not normally associated. All of the Mini-Grants are fine examples of the excellence in education and forward thinking that makes Haverford Township School District the great school system that it is. We hope that many of these programs will be prototypes for District-wide programs in the future.

Thanks to the generosity of the dedicated parents who supported the Oakmont school until its closing last year, the Foundation was able to establish an additional program: The Oakmont Grant is a new grant specifically designed to fund those projects that are most likely to benefit groups of students that include Oakmont alumnus/alumnae and embody the essence of the Oakmont PTO’s community spirit and its focus on the enrichment of the school experience for an entire student body. The deadline for 2007 Spring proposals has passed, but we'll be ready to accept new proposals in the fall.
