Mayor Charles & Ondra Farmer
Endowment for Excellence

This endowment is being established to honor the commitment of Mayor Charles and Ondra Farmer to public education. This endowment will provide mini-grants to teachers and classrooms to enhance the education program of the Jackson-Madison County Public School System and provide special opportunities to JMCSS students and staff when they become available. Examples might be participation in national activities when there is a cost involved. Procedures are being developed for allocation of funds and community members and educators will assist in making those decisions.

Contributions can be made to this endowment through West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation.
