ST. PAUL, Minn.– The Affinity Plus Foundation has announced the recipients of its 2018 Cultivator Grants.
The foundation awarded 10 grants of $1,000 each to elementary, middle- and high-school teachers across Minnesota to support their unique educational opportunities focused on making positive impacts on Minnesota communities.
Cultivator Grants support programming that emphasizes citizenship, community involvement, financial education, volunteerism, ethics and respect.
“Both as a foundation and a credit union, Affinity Plus understand the importance of strengthening Minnesota communities and families,” said Kristina Wright, Foundation board chair and Affinity Plus senior vice president of Member Experience.
“Affinity Plus’ core values of caring, excellence and integrity guide our activities and grant-making,” Wright said. “In addition, we believe that by investing in teachers, there’s a multiplying effect – the foundation’s impact can compound because educators touch the lives of so many students and families.”
