We are pleased to announce another new grant, this one coming from The Share Fund, a donor advised fund of The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region. The Share Fund’s mission is to improve the lives of disadvantaged and low-income residents in the greater Washington area by providing better access to food, shelter, employment, and education. The Fund also seeks to enrich arts and culture in the region; and to support efforts to preserve/protect the local natural environment and enhance the quality of life for all DC area residents.
The Share Fund's generous grant will help OWEd continue to meet its mission to provide middle and high school Common Core literacy programs and publish student essays about cultural and global issues, promoting peer-to-peer learning and building the skills necessary for college and career writing.
