The Holden Foundation awarded $10,563.18 to 8 Teacher Impact Grants today. This is how we use the money we collect as donations and earn as fundraisers. We use all of our donations to help fully fund each Grant that is approved by a committee. Our donators that give $500 or more are assigned a Grant to Sponsor.
