FOTP is proud to support education through Midsemester Miles Challenge. This is the inaugural year for the program and we plan to offer at least 10 grants to special education teachers at title 1 schools in Houston, Texas.
The Friends of the Phoenix will award up to $500 grants to local special education teachers so they can provide a beneficial learning environment for their students. Many special education students need different materials or equipment, which can be challenging to provide due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Please contact the FOTP grants at grants@thefriendsofthephoenix.org for information or questions.
