Overview
- The Quinta Brunson Field Trip Fund launched on Giving Tuesday in partnership with the School District of Philadelphia and the Fund for the School District of Philadelphia.
- Brunson seeded the effort with a $20,000 personal gift, and the fund is now accepting public donations online.
- The program targets Title I and underserved schools, covering admissions, transportation and related costs for trips to local museums and landmarks.
- District teachers and administrators will submit a short application reviewed by an independent internal group of educators, with awards made twice a year.
- Organizers say the fund aims to benefit more than 117,000 students by expanding access to out-of-classroom learning.
