—Ensure that students are engaged and ready to learn

​

—Support equity in educational outcomes

Over the last three years, NCEF has awarded more than $100,000 in Discretionary Grants for projects such as the Rowe Middle School Wind and Oar project; Ready, Set, Go; and NCSD Family Support Services.
