GRANTS APPLICATION

The Hinsdale Central Foundation is currently accepting applications for the Jodie Harrison Memorial Teacher's Grant. We are looking for new, exciting ideas that the Foundation can support. While we can not guarantee all/any grants will be funded, we are curious to hear what the foundation could do to enrich and enhance educational programs and opportunities for all students.

Project Achieve is funded by the Hinsdale Central Foundation because we are committed to the belief that all students can achieve great things.

Project Achieve provides dedicated educational resources, personalized academic strategies, and reinforcement to eligible students with the goal of improving their academic performance along with their high school learning experience. This program works with parents and their students who are struggling academically, to identify ways to motivate the students and improve their performance.

By providing individualized attention to educational needs, monitoring progress, modifying approaches as necessary while working collaboratively with parents, Project Achieve has demonstrated the ability to raise academic performance levels and equip participating students with strategies and tools for continued success.

There are approximately 200 students currently eligible for this program. It is anticipated that 60 students (and their parents) will choose to participate in this program next school year.

By continuing to demonstrate the success of Project Achieve, the HCHS Foundation in conjunction with Hinsdale Central, hopes to encourage greater participation and greater successes in the coming years. We believe this program will grow and achieve a result for kids that have never been possible. This is another example of how the HCHS Foundation is able to focus its resources to help improve the quality of education for all students. The dedicated educational resources are funded by the HCHS Foundation through a $25,000 grant

As alumni, you can be proud your alma mater and the Foundation is looking out for all students. Get on this winning team and show your pride by making a contribution to the Foundation’s fundraising efforts. If you are interested in becoming the title sponsor to this project, please contact us!
