CANTON – St. Lawrence University will receive a $1 million grant from the Eisner Foundation, founded in 1996 by foundation president Jane (Breckenridge) Eisner ’64 and her husband Michael D. Eisner, then-chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company.
The money will be applied to the endowed fund that supports the Fox Center for Academic Opportunity, said a press release from SLU.
The recently renamed center honors SLU’s president, William L. Fox ’75, and his commitment to every student’s ambition and life preparedness.
The Eisner Foundation identifies and sponsors innovative programs that unite multiple generations for the enrichment of local communities.
