Opportunities for funding for training for youth…
Best Buy Children’s Foundation will donate up to $2 million in Community Grants to local and regional nonprofit organizations that provide teens with places and opportunities to develop 21st century technology skills that will inspire future education and career choices .
Examples of program activities include:
- Computer Programming
- Digital imaging (photography, graphic design, videography)
- Music production
- Robotics
- Gaming and Mobile App Development
Community Grants are designed to support local efforts and are reviewed for consideration by Best Buy teams across the United States. The average grant amount is $5000 and will not exceed $10,000.
I think that you should have it in Bold Letters somewhere in you info that organizations are only qualified for the grant if they are within 50 miles of a Best Buy store. Rural communities, like ours, are shut out of this grant opportunity unless the organization has some kind of national program.
