Dedham Savings Community Foundation Supports UP Education Network

The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has donated $5,000 to UP Education Network. The grant award will fund efforts to expand student Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programming, including assessments and surveys to monitor student growth and development.  

About UP Education Network

UP Education Network is a turnaround organization whose focus is to take the lowest performing schools in Massachusetts and transform those schools into exceptional learning environments.  Their mission is to rapidly transform chronically underperforming district schools into extraordinary schools that sustain high achievement over time.

About Dedham Savings Community Foundation

The Dedham Savings Community Foundation was formed by Dedham Savings for the purpose of funding requests from community organizations which provide services to the communities that they serve. 

These communities generally, but not exclusively, include Dedham, Needham, Norwood, Sharon, South Boston, Walpole, and Westwood.  Typical requests are usually received from such organizations as schools, libraries, family service organizations and non-profit organizations.  The Trustees of the Foundation will accept grant requests from community organizations and make awards twice a year.

Organizations wishing to request funding from the Foundation may apply online on our Community Giving page.
