Nonprofit organizations are providing support amid a financial crisis. A grant of $4600 was awarded to educator Elizabeth Vreeland for the project Roots of Resilience, which focuses on literacy and student wellness. The project involves transforming outdoor space into a nature-based learning space.

The grant was awarded by the Austin Ed Fund at Zilker Elementary School. This support is needed as the district faces significant budget cuts. The cuts include a reduction of $1 million in funding for Communities in School, part of $205 million in reductions approved by trustees.
