Nonprofits Awarded Grants to Support Mentorship, Math Programs for Disadvantaged Children

Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County, the San Diego Center for Children, the New Children's Museum, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Oceanside have each received a check for more than $16,000 from the Sundt Foundation, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The nonprofits serve children with mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders.

The Center for Children received $4,900 to support its math program, which identifies students performing below grade level.

The New Children's Museum received $3,500 to provide a quieter, less chaotic museum experience for children and families with sensory differences.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Oceanside received a $3,000 grant to support after-school programming that focuses on combatting post-pandemic academic needs.

"It is inspiring to see how all four nonprofits are making a difference in the community for the better," says Ryan Nessen, a member of the Sundt Foundation's San Diego region board.
