Staples supports NEF’s Chromebooks for Classrooms campaign
The Northborough Education Foundation has been awarded $5,000 by Staples Foundation, the private charitable arm of Staples, Inc., through a program called 2 Million & Change that allows Staples associates around the globe to direct more than $2 million in donations each year. The grant was awarded at the recommendation of NEF Secretary Dawn Palma and NEF supporter Amuna Biondi, , both Staples, Inc. employees. The donation was earmarked for NEF’s Chromebooks for Classrooms campaign, which was kicked off in April 2016.
In addition to a few anonymous donations and the generosity of the community, the Staples Foundation grant has helped NEF to reach its goal of funding 200 new Chromebooks by the end of this school year.
“But that doesn’t mean we’re turning off the switch,” said NEF president Marile Borden. “Two hundred was a goal, but we would be thrilled to surpass that and help supply the District with even more needed devices.”
NEF will continue to accept donations at www.northboroughed.org/chromebooks through June 2017.
Created in 2012, the 2 Million & Change program is a philanthropic initiative which allows Staples associates around the world to direct funding to non-profit organizations focused on academic education or job skills. The program encourages local community engagement by awarding larger grants to organizations where associates are highly engaged in volunteering or fundraising.
