Stan Levenson Joins San Diego Teachers' Fund Committee
The San Diego Foundation, with assets of more than $600 million, welcomed Stan Levenson to the San Diego Teachers" Fund Committee in 2008. Levenson volunteers his time and talent to this vital and meaningful community effort.
The San Diego Teachers' Fund provides small grants to support the many outstanding and dedicated public school teachers in San Diego County. Though few would dispute the importance of providing our children with the highest quality of education, school funding is still in jeopardy. Too often teachers are forced to dig deep into their own pockets to fund even the most basic of necessities for their students. The assistance that the Teachers Fund program offers resource-strapped teachers is a welcome relief.
Since the programs inception in 1995, The Foundation has distributed aproximately $830,000 in teacher mini-grants. In 2008, more than $80,000 was distributed to both K-6 as well as Arts in the Classroom teachers at the secondary school level.
