Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft Corp., today announced a software grant worth $5 million for the National Urban League, the nation’s oldest and largest African-American organization. The technology grant from Microsoft will provide the National Urban League and its 102 affiliates with software to meet the organization’s goal of empowering communities and changing lives.
The $5 million dollar software grant will be rolled out over three years to give the National Urban League and its affiliates the technology system assessments and software needed to enhance its adult and youth programs as well as to encourage kids to pursue careers related to math and science. The grant will also provide the National Urban League’s office with tools to integrate data systems and more effectively communicate with Urban League affiliates and their volunteer corps across the nation.
