The Winston-Salem Foundation has donated $500,000 to support the local school district amid its ongoing financial crisis.
The nonprofit partnered with other community groups last month to launch a donation website.
The half-million-dollar gift will go toward the site’s “Student Success Fund,” which supports direct services and resources for kids.
This is the second big donation Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools received this week.
The first was $400,000 from Twin City Development Foundation, specifically to help with debt repayment.
