CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced its continuing
support for DonorsChoose.org, which advances science, technology,
engineering and math (STEM) education initiatives in underserved
schools. Through company donations, DonorsChoose.org rolled out the
CA Technologies Double Your Impact STEM Campaign to schools across
the country. The funding will provide access to valuable learning
materials, books and resources.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics, STEM jobs are
projected to grow twice as quickly as jobs in other fields over the
next five years.
Partnerships between businesses like CA Technologies and
nonprofits like DonorsChoose.org are helping to provide students
with the education and skills required to fulfill the needs of the
future workforce.
“Thanks to CA Technologies, over 5,000 students will receive the
STEM classroom materials they need to learn and thrive,” said
Charles Best, Founder of DonorsChoose.org. “Hundreds of teachers
across the country will receive the microscopes, graphing
calculators, robotics kits and more to instruct and improve the
overall learning experience of their students.”
DonorsChoose.org, also a CA Technologies customer, enables
teachers to submit funding requests for specific classroom projects
and materials. Individuals and organizations can browse requests,
make donations to projects that interest them and receive photos
and thank-you notes from the classroom.
“We are excited to continue our partnership with
DonorsChoose.org and support the important work they are doing to
bring resources to underserved schools through CA Technologies
Double Your Impact STEM Campaign,” said Erica Christensen, vice
president, Corporate Social Responsibility, CA Technologies.
“Expanding STEM learning is a top priority for our company. Through
this initiative our goal is to ensure teachers and students have
the tools they need to succeed.”
CA Technologies has contributed $150,000 overall to
DonorsChoose.org initiatives. This year’s contribution of $50,000
will be allocated to matching STEM focused classroom project
requests on the DonorsChoose.org website from high-need schools
throughout Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts,
New York, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
