At Urban Science, we understand \u2013 and deeply appreciate \u2013 the contributions nonprofits and charitable organizations make in the communities where our 900+ team members live and do business. From delivering clothing, food and shelter to our neighbors in need to launching emergency animal rescues \u2013 and delivering many critical services in between \u2013 this is important work that saves and enhances lives. But in the wake of COVID-19, many of these organizations have been strained by reduced donations and volunteerism support. That\u2019s why we mobilized our team to help.<\/p>\n
In early November, we launched our new Community Giving grant program, which was created to amplify our team\u2019s passion for doing good through company contributions to the organizations they support. Here\u2019s the scoop: we asked Urban Scientists to nominate nonprofits and charities to receive (10) $1,000 microgrants to further their missions in the wake of the pandemic. Once the nomination period closed, our team members voted to determine the top 10 \u2013 our $1,000 award recipients. These organizations \u2013 which span the globe \u2013 are as follows:<\/p>\n
$1,000 award recipients<\/strong><\/p>\n While our \u30b3\u30df\u30e5\u30cb\u30c6\u30a3\u3078\u306e\u5bc4\u4ed8<\/em> grant program initially set out to award a total of $10,000 to 10 organizations selected by our team members, we received 25 total nominations and didn\u2019t want to leave any cause behind. So, we extended our awards to include (15) $250 grants to the other organizations nominated.<\/p>\n $250 award recipients include: Angeli da Amara, Bearings Bike Works, CAMI Sport and Cancer, Economist Educational Foundation, Focus: HOPE, KIVA, GoFundMe, Laziochirugia Progetto Solidale, London Irish Foundation, Polaris Project, National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, SMYAL, Spotlight Players and the Wayne State University Math Corps.<\/p>\n On behalf of Urban Scientists everywhere, we proudly support these organizations as we forge ahead on our mission to make a positive impact on the places where we live and work \u2013 and to build a global community that\u2019s inclusive, ethical and inspiring. We thank our team members for their contributions toward this mission \u2013 and we\u2019re grateful to be in a position to help further the causes of the difference-makers nominated during this year\u2019s \u30b3\u30df\u30e5\u30cb\u30c6\u30a3\u3078\u306e\u5bc4\u4ed8<\/em> grant cycle.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Urban Science, we understand \u2013 and deeply appreciate \u2013 the contributions nonprofits and charitable organizations make in the communities where our 900+ team members live and do business.
