WE RECEIVED FEWER THAN USUAL GRANT APPLICATIONS FROM SCHOOLS IN THE SPRING AND FALL GRANT CYCLES, SO WE WERE UNABLE TO GIFT OUR ALLOCATED BUDGET OF $100,000. FOR THIS REASON THE BOARD VOTED TO INCREASE OUR GRANTS GIVING BUDGET IN 2026 TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL GRANTMAKING OPPORTUNITIES.IN 2025, BAEF'S BOARD APPROVED A GRANTMAKING BUDGET OF $100,000 FOR THE FOUNDATION'S SPRING AND FALL GRANT CYCLES. DUE TO FEWER QUALIFYING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED FROM BUSD SCHOOLS DURING THESE CYCLES, THE FOUNDATION AWARDED $65,153 IN GRANTS DURING THE YEAR. THE FOUNDATION'S GRANTMAKING PROCESS IS APPLICATION-DRIVEN, AND AWARDS REFLECT THE VOLUME AND ELIGIBILITY OF REQUESTS RECEIVED IN A GIVEN CYCLE. VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS: GRANTS PROVIDED INSTRUMENTS, ART SUPPLIES, THEATER WORKSHOPS, PRODUCTION SUPPORT, AND UPGRADED EQUIPMENT ENABLING STUDENTS FROM ELEMENTARY THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL TO PARTICIPATE FULLY IN HIGH-QUALITY ARTS EDUCATION AND PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION EXPERIENCES.STEM ENRICHMENT: FUNDING SUPPORTED COMPUTER UPGRADES, MATH CURRICULUM, OUTDOOR CLASSROOMS, AND HANDS-ON SCIENCE ACTIVITIES, EQUIPPING STUDENTS WITH REAL-WORLD PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND ACCESS TO CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY.WELLNESS, SAFETY, AND INCLUSION INITIATIVES: THE FOUNDATION PRIORITIZED MENTAL HEALTH, PHYSICAL WELLNESS, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING BY SUPPORTING SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS THAT CREATE SAFE, INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE ALL STUDENTS CAN THRIVE.
