REACH Community Fund
NOTE: The REACH Community Fund has limited funds available to assist nonprofit tutoring programs for 2011-2012.
About the REACH Community Fund
The REACH Community Fund supports organizations engaged in promoting school success for marginalized children and youth in grades 1-8 who are at-risk of not reaching their academic potential in math.
The REACH Community Fund helps non-profit and charitable community organizations that deliver tutoring, mentoring, or homework clubs to marginalized children and youth and schools that have a community volunteer program for tutoring outside of the classroom. REACH provides these organizations with student workbooks, tutor guides, and tutor training.
Program Impact
The program impacts the community by:
- Raising math and overall academic achievement.
- Improving attitudes toward math and other areas of learning
- Increasing academic confidence and student satisfaction with school
- Improving the classroom environment and academic performance across the board by reducing rates at which at-risk students act out and / or check out
- Raising expectations for marginalized students
The REACH Community Fund is supported by generous donations from corporations, foundations, and individuals. If you would like to support this innovative fund, please donate! The 2010-11 REACH Community Fund is made possible by the generous support of Capital One, the Paloma Foundation and MTS Allstream.
