Surrounded by the young students of the “Niños Uniendo al Mundo/Jardín del Cielo” School in Caguas, Ford Motor Company officials kicked off this year’s Conservation & Environmental Grants program Wednesday to benefit local schools, nonprofits and grassroots organizations that are doing their part to improve Puerto Rico’s landscape.
Ford Motor Co.’s “Operation Goodwill” this year donated more than $100,000 to help local organizations and community drive their health, environmental protection and education initiatives, including Nuestra Escuela, Sapientis, Hispanic College Fund, San Juan Community Library, Centro para Puerto Rico, Susan G. Komen/Race for the Cure, American Cancer Society and “Ready, Safe, Drive.”
Ten local nonprofit organizations will be able to continue their efforts to improve their community’s education and environment with the help of Ford Motor Company, which on Wednesday distributed among them a total of $40,000 in grants through its Conservation and Environmental Program.
