On July 23, hit the links for a day of golfing during our annual Golf Classic and help raise money for The Scott McGilvray Children's Fund.
Created in 1996 by NEA–New Hampshire members, the Scott McGilvray Children’s Fund was founded as the New Hampshire Foundation for Teaching and Learning Children’s Fund with our mission focused on improving teaching, student learning and education for public school teachers and students across the state. In 2018 we changed our name in honor of Scott McGilvray, educator, president of NEA-NH, and strong advocate for children.
The Fund has distributed over $150,000 in grants to provide basic needs to
- The mother and her children who left an abusive home in the middle of the night with just the clothes on their backs. The Fund provided clothing and toiletries so the children could attend school.
- The high school student who had never been to the dentist, was in a great deal of pain and whose parents could not afford the cost of fillings. The Fund worked with other agencies to arrange dental care.
- The abused child whose mom couldn't afford the cost of transportation to counseling. The Fund supplied gas card to defray the cost.
The Fund is ready to assist children and help them be ready to learn because a child’s physical, social or emotional needs should never stand in the way of classroom success.
SMCF works to provide public school students with items and services needed for school success that are not provided by other agencies.
Things like glasses, clothing, medical care, transportation and school supplies, to name just a few of the ways SMCFL has stepped in with emergency stopgap measures for New Hampshire’s public school children.
