Through this unique program, The Starbucks Foundation invites Starbucks partners to nominate a local organization in their community. Since 2019, more than 8,000 organizations have been awarded grants, amounting to more than $12.5 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re very grateful for this award,\u201d said Dr. Cassondra Corbin-Thaddies, CEO\/President, of Connect To Greatness. \u201cThis affords us the opportunity to continue doing the work that ignites the curiosity and creativity of our boys and their mothers to be change-makers and leaders in the world around them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Starbucks Foundation\u2019s Neighborhood Grants program supports grassroots, community-led nonprofit organizations through catalytic investments in the form of grants. Neighborhood Grants also help build sustained local impact and inspire increased partner engagement with nonprofit organizations that work in their communities. \u201cOur partners know their communities best, and have shared great insights about the organizations helping to uplift others in their neighborhoods, from addressing homelessness and fighting hunger to supporting youth and families,\u201d said Alicia Vermaele, Executive Director of The Starbucks Foundation. \u201cThrough our latest round of Neighborhood Grants, we\u2019re proud to support local organizations nominated by Starbucks partners who make our communities stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
