Foundation 191 announced ten grant awards for the 2018-2019 school year totaling
almost $5000 to schools in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage school district at the May 10 School Board meeting.
Each year, the foundation receives grant requests from district staff with some really creative ideas that would enhance, enrich, and expand educational opportunities for students in district 191, which is core to the foundation’s mission. We are very proud to help facilitate these collaborations.
Since its inception in 2005, Foundation 191 has provided more than $100,000 in grants and in-kind contributions to supplement and enhance students’ experiences.
