- Challenging Education
By Valery Galanter, Director of Philanthropy
It is with tremendous pride and excitement that I share that Bosque School has been awarded a prestigious $250,000 Educational Leadership Grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation. This highly competitive award will support and expand our signature Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) program, deepening its impact and extending its reach. I hope you will take a few moments to read the article below for more about this extraordinary program and how this investment will accelerate its growth.
The Edward E. Ford Foundation, based in New York City, is one of the few foundations in the nation dedicated exclusively to supporting independent schools. Since our founding, Bosque School has been honored to receive support from the E.E. Ford Foundation three times, most recently in 2021, when a $100,000 grant helped launch our Immersives courses. In this current grant cycle, only five schools nationwide were selected to receive an Educational Leadership Grant. We are both proud and deeply humbled to be among them.
Our MRC program so powerfully reflects who we are as a school. It embodies our commitment to relevant, hands-on, and transformative learning while living out our belief in being a “private school with a public purpose.” Through authentic partnerships and real-world engagement, our students are addressing meaningful community needs, particularly in a state facing significant healthcare workforce shortages. Throughout the grant review process, it became clear that MRC is not only innovative but a true differentiator for Bosque School.
To maximize the impact of this award, the Foundation has challenged us to raise an additional $250,000 in matching funds by December 31, 2027. We are already in conversation with corporate and foundation partners who are eager to invest in this initiative, recognizing both its educational value and its importance in strengthening healthcare access across New Mexico.
This grant affirms the power of our mission and our incredible students. I look forward to sharing continued updates as this work unfolds and invite you to read more below about the program and the journey that led to this exciting moment.
