“The Institute recently moved to a new campus, located in a watershed that is currently undergoing a large-scale restoration project, and required additional funding to complete its landscaping needs,” said Leslie E. Linfield, Executive Director of the Institute for Financial Literacy. “We are extremely thankful for the generosity of the Home Depot Foundation in contributing $2,500 toward this effort as it will not only help us improve the overall appearance of the facility but will also support our local watershed conservation plan at the same time.”
The Home Depot Foundation’s Building Healthy Communities grant program supports the work that local nonprofit organizations, public schools and other community organizations are doing to improve the physical health of their neighborhoods.
“We are delighted to support local volunteer projects aimed at creating healthier, more stable communities where families can thrive,” said Kelly Caffarelli, president, The Home Depot Foundation. “The Institute for Financial Literacy deserves enormous credit for the work it is doing, and we are glad to be part of their efforts.”
