Company renews investments in STEM nonprofits, announces new partnership
Today, Carbonite, Inc. (NASDAQ:CARB) a global leader in data protection, announced that the Carbonite Charitable Fund will renew investments in its inaugural nonprofit partners, in addition to providing a grant to one new organization, all creating opportunities for students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
The mission of the Carbonite Charitable Fund is to support organizations that equip students with STEM skills and empower them to make positive contributions to their communities. Since its inception in 2018, the Carbonite Charitable Fund has awarded grants to six organizations that align with this vision in the geographies in which Carbonite operates. Through Carbonite's continued investment in 2019, these organizations will execute specific programs that create better outcomes for their STEM communities.
In addition to its ongoing investments, the Carbonite Charitable Fund will also provide a grant to one new organization, ScholarJet, which connects employers with diverse technology talent and awards scholarships to students through skills-based competitions. Carbonite's grant enabled ScholarJet to execute its first-ever program in the Lewiston, Maine area, where many technology companies are actively hiring.
"The organizations we support commit to improving STEM learning experiences and continue to demonstrate meaningful results," said Mohamad Ali, Carbonite CEO. "From running female-only coding competitions, to pioneering technical curriculums for public schools, Carbonite's grant recipients are actively involved in finding ways for all students to interact with STEM. We look forward to our ongoing partnership with the leading organizations that are preparing the next generation for their technology careers."
