The Ada Jenkins Center and E2D are two local recipients of grants from the Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation which awarded $550,000 to 31 nonprofits that support local children, youth and young adults. The Ada Jenkins Center will receive $25,000 for their LEARN Works program, an after-school academic support and enrichment program, and E2D is receiving an undisclosed amount to provide computers for students lacking home-based computers sufficient to do their work. CMCF provides grants for organizations serving residents of Mecklenburg County, which align with its vision of a community where every resident is afforded the opportunity to be well-educated, safely housed, meaningfully employed and actively engaged in community decisions.
