Program Funders

Connecting Kids and Culture is a new initiative developed to provide culturally enriching educational opportunities for elementary students and is made possible by contributions from the 2007 Principal Charity Classic earmarked “FORE Our Kids.”

The Principal Charity Classic contributions to the Greater Des Moines Community Foundation and Bravo Greater Des Moines (Bravo) combined with financial support from a gift made by Kenneth P. & Helen I. MacDonald through the Community Foundation will fund the Connecting Kids and Culture program.
