Keller and Franzã©N Grants Boost Enrichment at Capitol Hill Schools

credit:

The Capitol Hill Community Foundation is giving $25,000 to two Washington, DC, nonprofits to expand programs that engage students in reading and the arts.

The grants will be divided between Everybody Wins DC and Reach Incorporated, two nonprofits that engage students in reading while fostering positive relationships between elementary school students, teens, and caring adults, the Washington Post reports.

"In the wake of educational setbacks caused by the COVID pandemic, we feel an even greater sense of urgency in extending literacy and arts resources and support to as many students as possible," Mark Weinheimer, chair of the foundation's grants committee, says in a press release.

The Franz'n Award for the Arts, honoring John Franz'n's dedication to making Capitol Hill a cultural hub, will provide $10,000 each to the music programs at Eastern High School and the Eliot-Hine and Stuart-Hobson middle schools.
