PPL Montana Awards School for Deaf and Blind with Grant | News, Sports, Weather for Great Falls, Helena, and all of Montana | Local Top Stories
PPL Montana presented the Montana School for the Deaf and the Blind with a $6,300 grant this afternoon.
Every year since 2005, PPL has given $200,000 in grants throughout the state.
This is the fifth time the School for the Deaf and Blind has received the grant.
It will use the grant money for its Transition Program which helps students gain skills to adjust to independent living.
The program operates on a small budget and currently has 17 students, the coordinator says the grant will be a big help. “The monies we received from PPL today will assist the Transition Program by supplying funding for supported employment, transportation, special equipment, adaptive equipment students need on the job, job coaches, and interpreters,” Program Coordinator Bob Corwin says.
“We have 500 employees that live in this community, and by community, I mean the state of Montana. Our kids are in school here, so we think it’s important to do what we can to make the community a better place to live,” PPL Montana Community Affairs Manager Lisa Perry says.
PPL Montana is also giving the Belt Senior Center $10,000 to winterize its facility
