Featured Grants

		We have supported the upgrading of computer equipment in neighborhood centers so that children can enhance their skills using and learning about today's technology.

		Startup funds and operating support have been given to numerous neighborhood after-school programs that provide enrichment, recreation and a safe environment for children and their families.

	We have provided uniforms for community center sports leagues because we believe it encourages teens to play with pride and provides them with a positive identity. We also believe that playing on a team provides important lessons in sportsmanship.

		Funding was provided for an arts and literacy program for children east of the Anacostia River that enables children to discover, develop and express their creative ability.

		A grant was awarded for playground equipment at a public housing on-site childcare center in Ward 7 for children of welfare-to-work and low-income employed parents.
