The Oreggia Family Foundation aims to enhance agricultural literacy through educational initiatives. By funding projects that incorporate agriculture into K-12 curriculum, they seek to foster an understanding and appreciation for agriculture's role in California and beyond.
The Literacy for Life grants support California K-12 educators in creating or expanding projects that integrate agriculture into classroom learning. Grants up to $500 assist in a wide array of activities, from hosting farm days to purchasing agriculture-related educational materials. The program not only aims at improving agricultural learning opportunities but also selects an Outstanding Educator of the year, recognizing impactful contributions to agricultural education. Project ideas include outreach efforts, field trips, science experiments, and nutrition education, all geared towards enhancing students' understanding of agriculture's significance.
