North Allegheny Foundation awards more than $60,000 in grants
Donations from community members helped fund $60,459 in grants from the North Allegheny Foundation, benefiting students across the school district.
The North Allegheny Foundation awards grant applications submitted by school district staff in both the spring and fall. Any district staff member can submit a grant application in hopes of receiving funding. The last subsidy round in the autumn of 2024 was of remarkable magnitude.
This was at the higher end of grant approvals. The committee appreciated the high quality of the grant applications and wanted to fund as many as possible, said William Mascari, secretary of the North Allegheny Foundation.
The awards are made possible in large part by community contributions through the foundation's annual fundraising efforts.
The grant committee was able to award such a large amount because of the record-breaking success of both the Trick or Trot and NA Golf Classic this fall, said Mascari, who is also a teacher at Marshall Middle School.

The Wellness Club library at the senior high is a lending library of self-help books in health and wellness, for a $500 grant.
Sustainable Shopping: Create Your Own Reusable Bag Project is a continuation of a project where seventh-grade students at Carson Middle School work with the Family Consumer Sciences team to purchase vinyl materials, drawstring bags, and tote bags to deliver to students to create a to make a sustainable bag. The grant awarded was $350.

The simulated apartment is designed to provide a realistic and engaging environment where students can gain hands-on experience in essential daily life skills such as food preparation and housekeeping. The apartment is used as a training ground where our students with special needs can develop essential skills to live independently, but more importantly, they can gain self-confidence and self-reliance, Johnson said.
Some projects have already started in December, while others will be implemented in the summer or next school year, Mascari said.
The North Allegheny Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt, charitable organization governed by a 23-member board of directors representing a diverse group of community and business leaders.
Grants that are not currently funded can apply for the second round of grant opportunities in the spring, according to Mascari.
