Deloitte Foundation grants help boost students’ success

Our commitment to furthering education for diverse learners

As the COVID-19 pandemic began to send shock waves throughout the education sector, the Deloitte Foundation made one-time donations to fund education initiatives across 18 nonprofit organizations working to minimize learning obstacles for more than 100,000 vulnerable high school students nationwide. Our funding was used by the nonprofit organizations to:

• Enhance online content to accommodate virtual programming
• Provide broadband access for virtual online learning programs and internships
• Offer devices and technical support to help close the digital divide
• Hire college professors to facilitate virtual college-level courses for high school students
• Enable college and employment application and interview preparation
• Award college scholarships for graduating high school seniors
• Facilitate mentoring, hands-on job shadowing and job training, career exploration, and employment opportunities
• Deliver educator training to aid students who experienced loss and adversity during the pandemic in building resilience as well as strategies to cope through new life circumstances
