Thrive By Five Giving Day

You can help make high-quality early childhood education a reality for more children in Monroe County. The Community Foundation has launched the Thrive by Five endowment campaign. With a goal of $1 million, the Lewis Fund for Early Childhood Education endowment will support the needs of young learners today, tomorrow, and forever.

Funding will be used to sustain and support Monroe Smart Start‘s early learning initiatives, including increasing access to high-quality education, improving quality of programs, cultivating family engagement and community partnerships, developing training opportunities for educators, and providing required community matching funds for On My Way Pre-K students.
