Visions Chosen to Receive Staples Foundation Grant!
Each year the Staples Foundation allows their associates around the world to select local nonprofits to receive funding. The grant is part of the 2 Million & Change program and it encourages and supports local community engagement, educational, and job-related efforts.
This year Visions In Education was chosen to receive a $3,500 grant to support our Independent Study Academy. The money will be used for a new “Reach Your Potential” scholarship program that will support our 9-12 Independent Study graduates and provide them additional funds to further their higher education goals. Staples chose Visions due to our commitment to improving our local community and support for at-risk youth.
Visions is honored to be recognized and rewarded for our education efforts. We strive to offer our students as many resources as possible to ensure their success in a rapidly changing world. We thank the Staples Foundation and our local Staples associate, Brandon Kavrell, for his recommendation and support.
In 2015, Staples distributed over $2.5 million in grants to 875 organizations to support various programs like job readiness for the homeless, academic scholarships, career exploration for high school students, and more.
