JMG has been awarded a $10,000 State Farm Good Neighbor Citizenship Company Grant. This grant will support the organization as it prioritizes education, economic mobility, and community development, helping Maine students achieve their goals and career aspirations.
JMG firmly believes that education is a cornerstone of personal and professional growth. With the support of the grant, JMG will provide the continued opportunity to invest in its education initiatives, ensuring that students from all backgrounds have access to quality educational opportunities, according to a news release from Craig Smith, JMG Communications manager, based in Augusta.
Additionally, JMG recognizes the importance of economic empowerment in creating sustainable communities. The grant will enable JMG to continue its support of students in the classroom, where it provides financial literacy, career exploration, and experiences for students that allow them to take control of their economic futures, develop connections, and contribute to the vibrancy of local communities.
“We are incredibly grateful to State Farm for their generous grant,” said Craig Larrabee, president and CEO of JMG. “This funding will support our capacity and ability to provide our students a continuum of support.”
