Medford, OR (8/10/2020) – Maslow Project is pleased to announce it has received a $25,000 grant from The Ford Family Foundation. These funds will support the creation of a full time Student Success Advocate role in Josephine County for our school-based programs.

Students in the Grants Pass and Three Rivers School Districts are in need of a Student Success Advocate.  The role of a Student Success Advocate directly impacts the academic success and emotional wellbeing of students experiencing homelessness. They provide basic needs, advocacy, and act as a liaison between student and school resulting in improved graduation rates. Maslow Project is grateful to The Ford Family Foundation, and additional funders Cow Creek, Meyer and Miller for the funding of this position allowing us to better support the needs of students in Josephine County.
