Using funds received from individual donations as well as from our various fundraising activities, the East Rochester Alumni Foundation provides “Excellence in Education” grants for the benefit of all students. The District Superintendent's Cabinet and several members of the Foundation review grant applications and recommend the acceptance or rejection of each grant to the Foundation’s Board of Directors. Foundation operating expenses are covered solely by donations from our Board of Directors.
