HANCOCK COUNTY — Hancock County Community Foundation (HCCF) recently awarded grants totaling $20,000 from the Hancock County Enrichment Fund to the four county public school education foundations: Eastern Hancock Education Foundation, Greenfield Central School Foundation, Mt. Vernon Education Foundation, and Southern Hancock Education Foundation.
Greenfield Central School Foundation will use its funds specifically to provide equipment and promotional materials for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activities at the intermediate, junior high and high schools. The remaining three foundations will use their funding toward teacher grants programs, where classroom teachers can apply for funding from the school foundation for projects, supplies and professional development opportunities.
Created by HCCF, the Enrichment Fund addresses a broad range of needs. The Enrichment Fund helps support long-term solutions; respond quickly to emergencies; and meet changing social, cultural, educational, and environmental needs in the local community.
