Since its inception:
- PIE received the Ohio Leadership Excellence Award, with a presentation being made at the National Diversity Leadership Summit in Cleveland.
- PIE received a Robert Reikert Foundation Charitable Trust Grant (via PNC Foundation) and a Causality Brand Grant.
- WKRC has asked PIE members to host a radio talk show on education.
- PIE won a MICTA Tech Innovation Grant using the Kilgour Lemon Smash initiative as our centerpiece to advance one-to-one technical opportunities to Cincinnati Public Schools.
- PIE was a finalist for a Perlman Foundation "Bridging the Gap" grant. As such, we were asked to drive all stakeholder traffic to a website at which the public could cast votes for those organizations with the most most worthwhile pursuits.
- PIE was a Causality Brand Grant finalist.
- PIE is working with several regional schools to secure an NFL 360 Grant Opportunity to "team up" and better teach health and wellness via an "app" designed by middle school students.
- PIE is in discussions with the Kettering Foundation/National Issues Forums to discuss research synergies through which Cincinnati would serve as a research pilot for educational innovation.
- PIE is in discussions with Junior Achievement USA, Sprint, KnoVation and others to create a program beta tested at Walnut Hills (Cincinnati) during the next academic year.
- The Ohio Department of Education awarded PIE its fourth consecutive Community Connectors grant for $300,000. Established in 2014, the ODE Community Connectors program brings together students, parents, schools, communities, faith or values based organizations and businesses in mentoring programs. The grant program seeks to strengthen communities, encourage mentoring opportunities and create new pathways for civic engagement that will result in high educational achievement, higher levels of well-being and health, and workforce readiness for Ohio.
- PIE received grant support from Best Buy Foundation and the Jacob G. Schmidlapp Trusts, Fifth Third Bank Trustee. The latter grant will benefit PIE’s programs, which promote education innovation that accelerates academic achievement and career preparation in the health sciences, biotechnology and nursing careers offering elective college coursework for Cincinnati Public School students.
- With a $25,000 grant, The Daniel and Susan Pfau Foundation also provided PIE funding in support of its STEM and drone programs for high school students in the Cincinnati Public School District.
- PIE received a $10,000 Catalyzing Impact Capital Project Grant from ArtsWave, the planner, promoter and fundraiser of the region’s arts, in support of capital equipment for a new program it is launching with the School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA). The grant funds the sound, film, video, editing and camera equipment necessary for the program. The PIE program allows students a “hands on” experience in film production, programming, editing and sound design. The program will not only allow the students to gain real-life career skills using this equipment, but they also will have the opportunity to learn from skilled mentors working in these fields, in addition to receiving Career Technical Education credits.
- Mary Welch Schlueter, the founder of PIE, was named 2018 Woman of the Year by The Cincinnati Enquirer and Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
