One of the missions of the ESD Connects committee is to connect ESD 112 staff with giving opportunities at the agency and locally. This page serves as an archive of past giving efforts, as well as a resource for staff to learn more about organizations and connect with them. If you have an organization that you would like to see featured here or an idea for a future giving opportunity, please fill out this short form. Thank you for connecting!
