Decatur City Schools Foundation

The Decatur City Schools Foundation was formed in 1992 to raise funds to be given back to the schools in the form of mini-grants for teachers with creative ideas to enhance learning.  These funds were donated by businesses and people in our community.

In 2004, the Foundation achieved its initial goal of raising a corpus of one million dollars.  From 1992 through 2004, the Foundation has given 536 mini-grants to 683 teachers for a total of $210,245.00.  These mini-grants have ranged from classroom supplemental supplies to the major establishment of the Wetlands Edge Environmental Center in partnership with Decatur City Schools and BP.
