The Marion Foundation’s grant program provides teachers an opportunity to receive funding for projects that benefit students in the Marion Independent School District. Grants are made possible because of generous contributions the Foundation receives throughout the year from both businesses and individuals as well as a number of educational funds that are invested with the Foundation for long-term benefit.
Additional contributions to these educational funds are encouraged in any amount and may be made at any time. If you are interested in establishing your own fund, please visit Establish A Fund.
