What's
The Steve and Mary L. Harvey Foundation
The mission of the Steve and Mary L. Harvey Foundation is to introduce,
coordinate, and facilitate the needs of the target population that The
Steve and Mary L. Harvey Foundation has identified as educationally
and environmentally deprived. They are dedicated to ensuring consistent,
efficient and effective objectives to ensure that each and everyone
identified will benefit from the foundation for many years to come.
The Steve and Mary L. Harvey Foundation adopted seven schools in 2001
after touring each school and assessing their needs. With assistance
from the Department of Water and Power (DWP) they developed a modest
campus beautification plan (planted trees), scheduled educational tours
for students, summer internships at DWP as well as distributed 500 dictionaries
and 250 thesauruses to the seven schools. Each school also received
a check for $15,000 dollars from DWP and an additional $7,000 from the
Steve and Mary L. Harvey Foundation to be used in their educational
departments.
In 2002,
The Steve and Mary L. Harvey Foundation expanded their program and added
three more schools from the Los Angeles Unified School District. Their
number one objective is to upgrade or add computers and printers to
each of the ten schools.
