General McLane Foundation
Investing in Students. Empowering Educators.
Every day, our teachers inspire students to dream bigger, and thanks to supporters like you, the General McLane Foundation helps turn those dreams into lasting opportunities.
Our guiding light is to enhance and enrich the educational experience for all students across the district by supporting innovative programs, scholarships, and classroom initiatives.
Why We’re Here
Public education lays the foundation for our future, but public funding can't always cover everything our students and teachers need to thrive. That’s where we come in.
Through the generosity of donors like you, the GM Foundation manages:
Scholarships for Graduating Seniors: More than 30 endowed scholarships were awarded last year to help students pursue college, trade school, or career training.
Classroom & Teacher Innovation Grants: We empower educators to go beyond the basics with mini-grants for creative, hands-on projects that ignite learning.
Student Opportunity & Equity Support: From tech tools to field trip funding to program access, we help bridge the gap for students who need extra support.
How We Do It
In the past year alone, with your support, we’ve been able to:
Expanding the digital media production curriculum and abilities in the high school with grants for podcasting and live streaming equipment
Awarding an $8,000 grant to General McLane High School’s TEAMS (Tests of Engineering, Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science) program to help defray the significant costs associated with sending FIVE qualifying teams to the 2025 National Competition
Sponsoring a grant totaling $4,816 for author Eliot Schrefer to do a presentation for the entire 7th and 8th grade classes at the middle school- a rare opportunity for the students to meet the author of books they were required to read.
How You Can Join Us
This Erie Gives Day we invite you to invest in the future of General McLane. Every gift — no matter the size — helps us unlock matching funds and multiplies your impact.
Your support today means a brighter tomorrow for our students, our educators, and our community.
