Recognized among the nation’s top fifteen educational foundations, Granite Education Foundation is no ordinary organization. The institution facilitates working programs and in-kind donations that benefit over 68,000 students and teachers on a regular basis in one of the largest school districts in the nation. Through its outreach and partnerships with local and national business entities, the Foundation encourages others to make a direct and meaningful impact on children in public education.
With over 100 languages and dialects spoken in the Granite School District and with 65% of the student population living at or below national poverty standards, the needs are great and multiplying at an alarming rate. Many families struggle with food insecurities, biological and physiological needs, as well as safety and other deficiencies. Through cash contributions, in-kind donations and the service and good will of many corporations, businesses, and individuals, Granite Education Foundation is making great strides in building an ethos of support in providing access to resources that improve educational outcomes.
