How is the PLC initiative funded?
Communities in Schools of Georgia received a $6.3 million grant, to be disbursed over a five year period, from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for PLC expansion throughout Georgia. The grant will help roll out 25 plus over the next five years. The grant requires matching funds, and CISGA continues to seek donors. The total PLC five-year initiative will cost $9.7 million. The Joseph B. Whitehead Foundation in Atlanta was among the first to provide PLC funding.
