The Trump administration canceled $600 million in teacher training grants last year, forcing educator programs across the country to close. Winston-Salem TEACH lost 80% of its budget. But then the donations came pouring in.

The money was slated to fund teacher coordinators, multilingual specialists, literacy tutors, counselors and more.

The Trump administration is withholding more than $6 billion in previously approved federal education grants to schools.
