FIRE provided financial grants totaling over $792,000 for the 2022-23 academic year to assist 14 Catholic schools, located within the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, in providing inclusive education so children with special needs are educated alongside peers in their home parish schools and two Diocesan high schools. This amount represents a 25% increase in support over last year. Grants assist with the costs of salaries for special education teachers, para-educators as well as resources, technology, and professional development for educators.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2022 – Jun 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$760.6KSpeech-Language Therapy Services
