(La Porte County, IN) - Unity Foundation of La Porte County has awarded $15,000 in grants to educators in Michigan City this year.  The grant programs were established by donors who believed in teachers as the critical factor for learning, UFLC officials said.

“Our local schools are full of exceptional teachers who go above and beyond for their students,” said Shannon Walker, Unity Foundation Vice President. 

According to Unity Foundation, teachers may use their grants for hands on or virtual activities in any academic area or life skills. The next round of grants  for Michigan City teachers will open in summer 2023. 

All La Porte County teachers are eligible to apply for Unity Foundation’s separate Community “Power for Good” Grants. That application period will open in late spring 2023.
