SAINT MICHAEL FOUNDATION GIFTS $50,000 TO FOUR EDUCATIONAL RECIPIENTS The Saint Michael Foundation (SMF) had a unique opportunity recently to put a limited, but impactful amount of funds to use in time for the new school year. Our goal was to invest in urgently needed access to education in this highly unusual remote, in person, or hybrid start to the school year. While students in Dallas were provided many tools like tablets or Chromebooks, there are additional urgent needs for technology. This ranges from the practical-but-necessary gear like protective cases, noise cancelling earphones, and charging/security stations, to high-capacity technology to meet the level of college ready programming for Eagle Scholars in the Vickery Meadow community. All four recipients: Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation, St. Philip's School, United to Learn and Catch Up & Read are all mobilized and ready to put tools in the hands of students and educators right now, providing urgently needed access and enhanced environment for learning. The Saint Michael Foundation gift to Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation met the goal for the Mayor's Disaster Relief Fund challenge grant, so our Foundation gift of $25,000 was leveraged to a $50,000 investment. This is the full disbursement of gifts to the recipients: CATCH UP AND READ
