Zara’s Fund is the arts-infusion fund of the Decatur Education Foundation created to honor the creative spirit of Zara Yee Hawthorne, a City of Decatur kindergarten student who passed away in 2013 at the age of six. The fund supports arts experiences for City of Decatur students in two ways – through need-based individual grants that support art experiences for school-aged children and through grants made to schools for arts infusion projects.
