Comodo Launches Philanthropic Initiative Targetting K - 12 Education Segment To Advance Technology Learning Opportunities Among Children
2008-03-08
JERSEY CITY, NJ March 06, 2008 - Comodo, a global Certification Authority
and leading provider of Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions today
announced it has begun awarding grants to schools in lower income communities
dedicated to providing technology enrichment learning opportunities for these
children. Importantly, this initiative is meant to help foster broader
understanding within school age children of key technologies related to
computers and the Internet.
This new initiative is consistent with Comodo's dedication to empowering
consumers with tools and technology to enable them to fully reap the benefits
that the Internet offers. "Comodo's commitment to giving back is deeply
ingrained in our culture." said Beverley Daynes, - Vice President of Finance
Comodo. "We spend considerable resources providing free, award winning desktop
security to end users and we are proud to continue our tradition by expanding
our support to empower children to be technologically literate."
The first school to be granted an award was the Eighteenth Avenue Elementary
School of Science and Technology in Newark, NJ. This grant supports a special
needs program among second and third graders to help accelerate their use of
computers for learning. Comodo is planning on expanding this program to include
technology, hardware and other potential services related to authentication to
reduce children's exposure to online predators.
Grant recipients will be chosen by the Comodo Grant Review Committee, which is
comprised of Comodo employees with diverse backgrounds and range from individual
contributors to management level employees. Interested not-for-profit
organizations can contact Comodo directly.
