My friend and colleague is one of their board members and mentors, and I (Pete Muhlenberg) have seen firsthand the amazing work that they do, having had the opportunity to work with a young man who is a Foster Pride “graduate.”<\/p>\n When I read about the family grants program, I thought that it was a great opportunity to help a deserving organization. Thanks to a generous $15,000 grant from The Wyomissing Foundation, Foster Pride was able to sustain the\u00a0I Made It Myself\u00a0program, providing 40 weeks of visual-literacy-based art programs to 50 children aged 5-14. In these weekly workshops, students have fun exploring different art activities, from painting to fashion design, while also developing important skills that transfer to classroom curriculum. At the conclusion of each year, students and their families celebrate their talents with art shows around the city. Past shows have\u00a0been at the National Arts Club and Rockefeller Center.<\/p>\n Click the link to watch a segment of NBC-TV’s Weekend Today about a Foster Pride crocheting project in New York City:\u00a0http:\/\/fosterpride.org\/news.

With the Foundation’s support, Mosaic’s business manager has fine tuned diversity and team-building trainings and strengthened partnerships with several corporations, most notably Gap Inc. By supporting MCP in the early development stage, The Wyomissing Foundation is ensuring that MCP will help to fund Mosaic’s In-School and Outdoor School programs for 4th- and 5th-graders for many years to come.<\/p>\n CONNECTICUT MIRROR<\/strong><\/p>\n Because he is passionate about high-quality journalism, family member Tom Scheffey supported a grant to partially fund a panel and public discourse series on education proposed by The CT Mirror online news source. A three-part series featuring elected officials, academics, and educators, the symposia addressed issues facing education at the local, state and national levels. All sessions were filmed to be hosted online to gain maximum audience and impact.<\/p>\n Review a list of other Thun Family Grant recipients<\/a> or organizations that have received major grants<\/a> from The Wyomissing Foundation.<\/p>\n Wyomissing Foundation Grants ALBRIGHT COLLEGE AND 13TH AND UNION PARTNERSHIP Click here for a summary and photos of the grant project.
