November 26, 2024 – Opportunity Enterprises recently announced it has been awarded a $10,000 grant and 25 laptops from the Comcast Foundation to support Opportunity Enterprises’ educational day services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“So much of what we do is in our computer lab,” said Opportunity Enterprises Curriculum Director Shannon Keaton. “We use it to teach site words, reading skills, writing, math, money skills. Technology really helps make these lessons accessible, and we’re grateful to Comcast for continuing to support our mission.”
The grant and laptop donation are part of Project UP, Comcast’s $1 billion commitment to advance digital equity and help create a future of unlimited possibilities.
“Comcast is committed to helping equip people of all ability levels with the digital skills and resources needed to participate and thrive in our increasingly digital world,” said Grace Hong Duffin, Comcast’s Regional Vice President of External and Government Affairs. “We are proud to partner with such a terrific organization in Opportunity Enterprises to help advance digital equity in Northwest Indiana.”
