The Giving Project
The goal of the project is simply to help those in need. Some of our students do not have food, blankets, shoes, etc. Thanks to a partnership with The Garden Church, Donors Choose, and The Long Beach Giving Project, we have been able to help many of these families.
In 2018, Justin Rudd ran a competition that allowed for teams to spend $500 in a way that would benefit a school, community, or various individuals. The team that utilized these funds most efficiently won an additional $500. Franklin entered this competition with four teachers who wanted to make a difference in the lives of our students on. Our team created a writing prompt: “If you had $100, what would you do?” We won the competition, received another $500 to help their school, and launched the Franklin Giving Project which is currently in its 2nd year. Four more teachers have joined the project along with the Garden Church.
