Adopt A+ Grants

Each year, the Education Foundation Board of Directors awards grants to Virginia Beach schools for innovative and creative programs that benefit students. Each teacher-designed project is aligned with the school division’s strategic framework. Schools are awarded funds through a blind review application process, which means no information pertaining to the school is included.
