Come Grow With Us: Harvest 2026!

You're invited to Harvest —an extraordinary evening dedicated to cultivating incredible, next-level opportunities for the students of Grand Island Public Schools. Join us for an unforgettable night of community, vibrant energy, and true generosity as we come together to fund the essential and life changing opportunities that enrich our students' lives.

 Heart of the Foundation Award

The Heart of the Foundation Award is an annual award honoring someone who has been a constant champion for the Foundation, a pillar to our success and has embraced the soul of our mission.

Fund a Mission:  Scholarships

Each year, the Foundation will choose one of its current programs in which to dedicate Fund a Mission donations. Our Fund a Mission goal of $10,000 will go specifically to our Scholarship program. You can donate anytime between now and September 24. During the Harvest event, hear an inspirational story from a GISH Alum. Our host will announce our Fund a Mission moment so Harvest event attendees may donate to help us reach our goal.
