The purpose of the Project Enhancement Fund is to encourage school staff to submit applications that offer innovative, unique and exciting enhancements to curriculum requirements.  In order to have a project considered it must: 

          1)  Enhance educational opportunities for students, and

          2)  Support an initiative in Healthy Active Living, the Arts, Innovative Practices or Science & Technology.

The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation does not fund core curriculum activities, resources or programs that would normally be considered to be part of the Board and/or school budgets.  The project is expected to be above and beyond the everyday school experience.  

NEWS!  The Fall 2010 grant applications are now being accepted. Applications will be accepted until 12:00 p.m., October 14, 2010.

Announcing, the Len & Olive Black Memorial Fund

Released by Maribeth deSnoo on August 26th, 2010

Included in The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s spring Chalk Talk newsletter, was an article on Leonard Wilson Black.  Mr. Black is The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s, very first estate donor.  The article was written by retired Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board Administrator Glenn Richardson, Mr. Black’s nephew. 

In his article Glenn wrote, “The gifts to the North York Board of Education and to The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation were motivated by the great value both Uncle Len and Aunt Olive placed on education…gifts were made to a number of charitable institutions and these are explained in my mind, as I recall an individual who was naturally disposed to sympathy for people in need, and who saw a great deal of that need around him in the course of the Great Depression.”

Leonard Black’s appreciation of our educational system and his desire to assist those in need, align closely with the purpose of The Learning Foundation’s ‘Student Emergency Fund’.  Last year, 155 emergency support requests were granted through the fund, totaling $32,500 in immediate financial aid to students facing crisis situations and hardship.

In discussing how best to use Mr. Black’s very generous gift, it was decided that the donation would be endowed, and the annual interest from the gift would form the ‘Len and Olive Black Memorial Fund’.

The Len & Olive Black Memorial Fund’ will support students facing financial hardship, and who:

  • Require assistance with purchasing materials and items to allow them to fully participate in courses, leveling the playing field for all students(i.e. specialized welding glasses for technical courses, character shoes for music theatre courses, suitable shorts and shoes for gym classes, art kits for art classes, etc) 
  • Would like to pursue post secondary education and need assistance with the application fee.

The Len & Olive Black Memorial Fund will be a separate and distinct category within the Student Emergency Fund.
