From its beginnings in 1987, the Foundation has stood for excellence in public school education. During its first decade, the Foundation grew from a fledgling organization with $12,000 in seed money, into one of the most successful public school foundations in the nation with over $2 million in assets.
Since the early 1990s, the Foundation has awarded hundreds of mini-grants to enrich existing curricula, or to help pilot new opportunities in Grand Forks Public Schools that would not have been funded through other local means.
"The Foundation has provided staff members the resources to do
many special projects to help with the education of our students. We are thankful for this support."
Ron Gruwell, Interim Superintendent
