The Spokesman

Review Highlights United Way Funding

We are very proud to support efforts that improve how the school district engages with kids. Our grant to Spokane Public Schools to support their efforts to build resilience at Shaw and Garry middle Schools was used in part to help purchase materials for a

Marshallese-style canoe. This is a reminder of the value to our partners that our grant funds are so flexible, and can be used to support their strategies as they evolve.
