After making a record $15,000 available for this year’s grants, the Transylvania County Schools Educational Foundation (TCSEF) announced another record high at its recent board meeting.
Twenty-seven classroom and enrichment projects for Transylvania County Schools (TCS) have been offered “mini-grants” for 2015, up from 18 the previous year.
TCSEF is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization that develops and encourages public and private support of Transylvania County Schools. The foundation’s mission is to support innovative classroom and enrichment projects designed by public school teachers.
Thanks to successful fundraising and strong financial performance, TCSEF has continued to expand its ability to nurture unique learning experiences for TCS students, since coming back online in 2007.
“We are excited to have increased the total mini-grant awards from $12,000 last year, to $15,000 for 2015,” said Peter Johnson, the foundation’s vice chair and finance director. “We are confident that we will be able to increase this amount again next year.”
