School financing has become an issue in Michigan with continued cuts in the per pupil amount given by the state. This has led to cuts in many school systems, including Gobles.

 The Foundation has received several grant requests to pick up funding of programs because of budget cuts. Our by-laws guide the Board of Directors in their decision-making. Our goal is The promotion and support of educational activities of the School District either in the name of the Foundation or in conjunction with the School District, so as to provide broader opportunities than would be available solely from tax dollars and other government sources.

 We continue to seek new and innovative grants for programs not offered at this time. Some of those are covered in this newsletter.

 Additional funds are needed to honor grants. Please consider a donation or endowment to the Foundation.
