Since 1996, the Gresham-Barlow Education Foundation has given $62,288 to Deep Creek-Damascus. The majority of funds received were for Innovation Grants that directly enhance classroom instruction. Deep Creek-Damascus also received significant funding for literacy support, including the recent creation of a web-enabled eLibrary.

With these funds, the GBEF paid for literacy enhancements in addition to enriching classrooms with a focus on directly and positively impacting student learning.
