Funding for New Orleans

I have some fantastic news on the fundraising front. Yesterday I received notification that Schools Count Corp., NFP has received a $5,000.00 grant from The Joe W. and Dorothy Dorsett Brown Foundation. The funds are being provided for our August 2011 trip to New Orleans. The contribution will be used to buy supplies for the children we assist in the various schools.

This is the first grant SCC has received during the existence of SCC. It is the hope of everyone involved that this will be the first of many foundations stepping up to aid the cause of education in schools that most need the help.

I am most grateful to the Board of Trustees of The Joe W. and Dorothy Dorsett Brown Foundation for placing their trust in our work. At the same time, I want to assure the foundation that Schools Count will make the best use possible of the funds.

Many thanks,
Dick
