The New Voices Foundation receives some new support

Highlighting some great news for an RTP start-up company in the Park Research Center incubator space:

The New Voices Foundation (formerly the Triangle New School Foundation) has received a grant from the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust as a celebration of a “Day of Giving”.

The grant is part of a $6.3 million grant to nonprofit organizations across the country in 2009. These grants align with CVS Caremark All Kids Can, a signature program focusing on children with disabilities, as well as provide support for medical services for the uninsured, grants to pharmacy schools, scholarships for the children of CVS Caremark colleagues and funding for community organizations for which CVS Caremark colleagues act as volunteers.

The New Voices Foundation helps children with severe communication and physical disabilities maximize their learning potential. A three-stage approach of assessment to determine a child’s capabilities, classroom support for inclusion, and teacher training to build school capacities provides a comprehensive service mix. Eventually a transitional day school component will help children who need additional scaffolding.
