Description
The Gray Family Foundation Geography Education grant program aims to inspire and support Oregon’s K-12 teachers, schools, districts, and community organizations in integrating geographic concepts into curriculum and instruction. The program is designed to foster a sense of place among children, youth, and educators, nurturing active stewardship of Oregon’s communities and natural environments.
