Grand Total 2015-16 Charity Disbursements $48,955
One of the two main purposes of the Santa Cruz Chapter of Omega Nu is to meet the charitable needs of the local community. Since the first charity grant was made following the 1906 earthquake, Omega Nu has given over two million dollars to individuals, families and organizations in need. Total charitable contributions are in excess of three hundred thousand dollars over the last 5 years.
The second purpose of the Santa Cruz Chapter of Omega Nu is to support education. The Sigma Alpha chapter of Omega Nu has awarded their 2016/17 Funds for Fundamentals grants to 54 teachers at 9 of our elementary schools in the amount of $10,320.
The teachers will use their grants for a variety of things including books, math/science/writing curriculum updates and supplemental materials, PE equipment, musical equipment, and art projects.
The schools included in this funding cycle included: Boulder Creek, DeLaveaga, Gault, Mar Vista, Mountain, Pacific, Santa Cruz Gardens, Valencia and Vine Hill Elementary schools.
