Connexus Association continued to increase the dollar amount of
grants awarded to programs that fit into our mission to provide scholarships
for education, to assist educational institutions and to provide financial
literacy education. During 2018 we continued to support local high
schools with grants totaling over $20,000. We alsodonated $50,000
to help fund the development of Northcentral Technical Colleges' Garden to
Table Program. This donation will be utilized to help fund the
development of a Garden-to-Market technical diploma. Junior Achievement,
a proponent of financial literacy, also received grants totaling $16,500 which
reached several different geographic segments.
