The Boys and Girls Clubs of Collin County received a $29,850 grant from the Taco Bell Foundation on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. The funds will be directed towards its Project Learn program, which focuses on academic achievement and scholarships for its members. The announcement was made by North Texas Bells, the local Taco Bell franchisee responsible for securing the funds.
"We are proud to support the communities we serve," said Troy Morrison, CEO of North Texas Bells, in an official statement. "We believe that education is foundational in helping others. I am grateful for the teamwork and dedication of our team members to support this amazing cause."
This grant is part of the Taco Bell Foundation's nearly $23 million in community grants awarded to over 450 youth organizations nationwide this year. The program aligns with the foundation's mission of breaking down educational barriers and empowering young people to pursue their boldest ambitions.
"Our community grants program is unique because the funds are dispersed back to organizations in the local community they are raised in," said Neil Borkan, chairman of the Taco Bell Foundation, in an official statement. "We are so thankful for the generosity of our partners, customers, and Taco Bell team members that make it possible for us to continue serving youth across the country."
