We find it extremely rewarding to be given the opportunity to learn about the incredible nonprofit organizations within Medina County. Through their diverse and passionate programs, they identify new directions and opportunities to empower individuals to improve the lives of women and children in Medina County. This is the epitome of the fund's mission.

In 2021, OPEN-Bees received a $2,500 grant to provide professional advocacy services for exceptional children, who often find it challenging to navigate through school and extracurricular activities. As a direct result of the grant, OPEN-Bees paid the registration fee for two Medina City School District teachers to attend a local International Dyslexia Association training.
In addition, the grant enabled OPEN-Bees to provide financial assistance to five children and their parents to consult with an advocate or educational lawyer to assist in getting a learning disability diagnosis, as well as to learn evidence-based practices to close the literacy gap.
Finally, the grant also paid for a portion of the organization's website design, allowing OPEN-Bees to reach and impact more families.
