We give back

From time to time we make donations to organizations that fall just outside the framework of our philanthropy program’s funding strategy but still support our mission. These range from donations of computers to an adopted nonprofit organization to substantial grants supporting student success initiatives, such as Madison College’s STEM Academy.
