The Value of Catholic Inclusive Education

Porto Charities, Inc. is dedicated to increasing the educational resources available to children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, Virginia. Through our Grant Making program, we provide financial support to Diocesan pre-schools, elementary and secondary schools who embrace the practice of inclusive Catholic education and meaningful employment for all.

Our Grants in Action

Porto Grants help provide assistance for salaries of Para Educators​, Special Education Teachers, Professional Development on Inclusive Education and Learning Materials, Technology and Equipment for Inclusion programs at our Diocesan schools.
