The following list includes individuals, corporations, and foundations that have contributed to the Fund for Educational Excellence’s restricted programs and unrestricted annual fund from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. Gifts to the Fund help us work with the school system to explore and implement best practices in literacy, teacher training, leadership development, and post-graduation options. Annual gifts are a critical part of our community’s collective effort to foster quality education for all and to realize what’s possible for Baltimore City Schools.
