SCHOOL AND CLASSROOM GRANTS: THE FOUNDATION GRANTS TEACHERS, STAFF, AND ADMINISTRATORS THE FUNDS THEY NEED TO SUPPORT UNIQUE AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS THAT STATE FUNDING CANNOT PROVIDE. WE SUPPORT ACTIVITIES AND EXPERIENCES THAT EXPAND THE LEARNING PROCESS AND ACTIVELY ENGAGE STUDENTS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
