The Value of Catholic Inclusive Education
Porto Charities 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 that 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.
Grant Beneficiaries
In 2024 we awarded grants to 14 Catholic Schools and the Office of Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Arlington. You may click on the school's logo to be redirected to the special services that Porto's grants have supported at each school.
