For over 27 years the Foundation has provided the Menlo Park City School District with an annual grant, which becomes part of the schools operating budget. We remain committed to increasing the size of the grant, thereby helping to bridge the funding gap. The School District and the School Board employ granted funds in accordance with the Strategic Plan. The most recent grant of $1.82 million, made in June 2009, represented more than 6.6% of the District Budget. This grant has become a source of dependable funds for our schools.
