Thiems Grants Awards Day
Foundation 205 was thrilled to award 17 grants totalling $265,280 across all schools in District 205. Board members travelled around the district on May 18, delivering the news of accepted grants to teachers, staff, and parent grant writers.
These grants make it possible to elevate education and enourage innovative programming throughout District 205. For a full list of grants awarded this cycle, click below.
Outdoor Holiday Tree Sale
Each year, Foundation 205 sells trees for residents to display and decorate in their front yards. We love being able to continue this long standing Elmhurst tradition that now supports education throughout District 205 in Elmhurst. In 2025, we sold a record of almost 3,000 trees.
Quantities of trees are limited. Don’t miss your chance!
