Givers Gain Grants
The BNI Foundation will continue to make mini-grants directly to teachers to support the valuable work they are doing in the classroom. Too many teachers spend too much of their own hard-earned cash to equip their classrooms. We know that is true from what we have learned from the many BNI members who have been teachers, are married to teachers or have teachers for parents or children. Not enough corporations are reaching in to the classrooms and helping the teachers with these needs. We know that, too.
Since its inception in 1998, the BNI Foundation has donated over $3 million to non-profit organizations around the world. We are extremely proud of that track record and want to see that number multiply exponentially in the coming years.
We are asking members to continue referring teachers to the BNI Foundation, and we want to THANK the many members who have already done so. We are also asking members to make an effort to identify the schools who need our help the most and join our Business Voices movement by finding out how your chapter can help these schools in a hands-on way, right at the local, community level.
