RICHMOND, Va. -- As it rolls out its first fundraising programs for Richmond-area high schools as a proof-of-concept, Richmond startup The Endowment Project’s efforts just got a boost from a new, deep-pocketed source: the developers of the planned Southside casino.
The company, which launched earlier this year to help create endowments for public high schools, has already stood up several initial funds as test runs at Freeman High School, Midlothian High, and Petersburg High.
