About Us
The Firstmark Foundation's Education Grant Program is designed to support full-time K-12 educators and school employees.
To date, the Foundation has provided 75 education grants close to $70,000, and has collectively funded upwards of $145,000 to school employees in San Antonio and the surrounding area.
The contributions made by the Foundation would not be possible without members enrolled in Power of the Dollar Checking, who continue to provide a stream of resources.
