The Bend-LaPine Education Foundation received a $5,000 grant from the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation to support innovative teaching and learning initiatives in local classrooms.
Supporting Local Education
The grant will benefit the Foundation’s Classroom Enrichment projects, which aim to encourage innovation in local classrooms. Last year, the Bend-LaPine Education Foundation funded 107 teacher requests, demonstrating its commitment to educational support.
The Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation was established in 1997 to formalize the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians’ commitment to community support. The foundation awards grants to nonprofit organizations serving the public in several counties, including Deschutes County.
Michele Emery, Education Foundation board president, expressed gratitude for the ongoing partnership, stating, “We are grateful to once again receive generous support from the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation. Grants like this allow us to continue supporting teaching and learning in Bend-La Pine schools.”
