In 2024-25, the NWRESD Foundation awarded 31 grants worth $36,000 to educators in Clatsop, Columbia, Tillamook and Washington counties. 

The foundation also held a fundraiser, which raised $24,000 for the grant program. These grants provide up to $2,500 for projects that benefit children birth to age 21 who are receiving special education, kindergarten readiness, migrant education or English language learner services.
