The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation is continuing its support of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy with a $500,000 grant for education policy.
The gift will be used to help provide scientific research and information needed to create policies that improve schooling in Michigan.
Mackinac Center President Joseph G. Lehman was quoted in the Midland Daily News as saying, “The Mackinac Center is honored to partner with the foundation to develop policies that bring expanded options and greater accountability to public education."
