This year, through the generous support of its donors, the Pro Bono Publico Foundation was able to award 25 grants totaling almost $350,000. Grants will support the continuing process of transforming New Orleans public schools, assuring that all of New Orleans’ children have access to excellent schools. Nearly 75% of New Orleans students now attend public charter schools, and standardized testing shows dramatic improvement in student performance. These schools, and organizations supporting their important work, have been the main focus of PBPF investment, as well as the commitment of dozens of Rex members serving on their boards.
