The NJ SIM Foundation, Inc. a New Jersey Not for Profit 501(c)(3) corporation set up by the New Jersey Chapter of the Society for Information Management to assist worthy charities and individuals has awarded HOPES CAP, Inc. with a $23,000 grant through its “Giveback” Program.
According to NJ SIM the purpose of the “Giveback” Program is to leverage our success, resources and capabilities to return value to the IT profession and community at large, in the form of both relevant services and charitable assistance.
Through this grant HOPES CAP, Inc. will receive funds for technology supplies and equipment that will bring technology capabilities to those in need.
The principal source of funding for the NJ SIM Foundation is the New Jersey SIM Chapter. The Chapter sponsors an annual charitable golf event that has become very successful. One hundred percent of the “profits” from this event go to the NJ SIM Foundation. During this year’s golf outing two recipients of the 50/50 raffle donated their cash winnings valuing $1,100 to HOPES CAP, Inc.
HOPES CAP, Inc. would like to pay a special thanks to Yee Jao, NJ SIM Foundation member and former HOPES Head Start parent who made HOPES staff aware of this grant application opportunity. “As a HOPES Head Start Policy Council member Yee came to learn about the many services and programs offered through HOPES and although it’s been several years since Yee’s son Ethan was enrolled in HOPES she recognized the similarities between the mission of The NJ SIM Foundation and HOPES,” said Marisa Musachio, HOPES Director of Program Operations.
