In 2012, associates globally directed more than $2.1 million of Staples Foundation grants to 470 non-profit organizations. The program, called 2 Million and Change, will award funds to organizations around the world, reaching more than $2 million in grants by the end of the year. The program encourages local community engagement by awarding larger grants to organizations where associates are highly engaged in volunteering or fundraising – up to $25,000 per organization. The grants are part of a philanthropic initiative created by Staples Foundation which allows Staples associates around the world to direct funding to non-profit organizations that are focused on education or job skills. "Their donation will help us further our goal of providing access to programs and services in support of economic stability and growth through entrepreneurship in underserved neighborhoods and communities." "We are grateful for the support and generosity The Staples Foundation and it's associates have shown to the Center for Women & Enterprise and the women we serve," said Susan Rittscher, President & CEO of CWE. The primary goal of Community Classrooms is to fortify underserved communities, building a more stable economic environment by eliminating barriers that hold residents back. The Community Classrooms program offers access to entrepreneurship training and business resources to residents in urban areas historically isolated by poverty, lack of transportation and slow economic growth. Community Classrooms brings classrooms and resources directly into underserved communities, to help them transform their lives, escape from poverty, create financial resources, create jobs and drive economic growth. The Staples Foundation Grant will be used to support the Center for Women & Enterprise’s Community Classrooms Program.
