NBC10, Telemundo62 and the Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation announced that the Land Conservancy for Southern Chester County will receive $15,000 in Project Innovation 2021 grant funding. Funding will be used for the Teens Turning Green STEM Paid High School Summer Internships, enabling the program to hire more interns and add a new location, which will significantly increase access to the TTG program.
Project Innovation 2021 grants were presented to eligible nonprofits in 11 markets across the U.S., all of which include stations owned by Project Innovation's sponsors. Ten Philadelphia area organizations received a total of $315,000. These 10 organizations offer programs that are addressing local community issues through innovative solutions in the areas of community engagement, culture of inclusion, next generation storytelling and youth education and empowerment. This is the fourth consecutive year that NBC10, Telemundo62 and the Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation have recognized local nonprofits with Project Innovation grants.
The grant application period opened on Jan. 8 and closed on Feb. 12. The stations created and gathered community panels to review grant applications and select final grant recipients. This year, the program funding levels increased in each participating market to $315,000, up from $225,000, and to $3.475 million across the 11 markets, up from $2.475 million.
