Last year, the Vandalia-Butler Foundation awarded $26,206 in new educational grants and disbursed an additional $11,500 in previously approved awards. Those grants are supporting nearly two dozen initiatives — from Planetarium technology upgrades and Cincinnati Zoo tickets for elementary school students to supplies for a clay studio and flexible seating options for students with special needs.
The VISIONS: An Eye for the Future Fund underwrote the bulk of the grants, with significant contributions from the Arts Revitalizing Team Fund, Vandalia-Butler High School Alumni Association Fund and the Mary Ann Wietzel (“What’s in It for Kids?) Fund.
Since 2002, more than $240,000 has been granted or committed to support learning opportunities for students in the district.

The Vandalia-Butler Foundation and its funds are components of The Dayton Foundation. Leadership for the Vandalia-Butler Foundation rests in our own community, while fiscal oversight of our funds is maintained by The Dayton Foundation, which serves the Dayton/Miami Valley area. This partnership allows for the Vandalia-Butler community to benefit from local leadership and profit from resources pooled with others for investment growth.
