Mouse is honored to receive generous grants from our returning partners Best Buy Foundation and Pinkerton Foundation, as well as new grants from Symantec and Xerox Foundation.

We are thrilled to receive a $100,000 grant from the Best Buy Foundation, a longtime partner of Mouse, that has provided more than $2 million in funding to support STEM education to Mouse over the past decade. With this grant, Mouse will further enhance curriculum and programs available on our online learning platform and in Mouse sites across the country.

This grant will also support the further development of Best Buy Teen Tech Centers, Geek Squad Academy, and additional programs which offer youth environments to learn and create with technology outside of their schools.

For the second year, the Pinkerton Foundation has awarded $40,000 to support Mouse Corps, our design and technology program that focuses on its students’ interests in creating and building new technologies that address real-world issues.

The support of the Pinkerton Foundation will help Mouse continue to expand our Mouse Corps program, giving more youth the opportunity to design technologies for social good, work with experienced technology mentors, and participate in meaningful summer apprenticeships.

We are pleased to receive a $25,000 grant from Symantec, a new partner to Mouse, will support Mouse in expanding our web literacy curriculum by designing new learning experiences where MOUSE learners will explore their “web identity,” building key skills in the areas of privacy and security to actively participate and uphold positive culture on the web. 

Additionally, we welcome The Xerox Foundation as a new partner to Mouse, with a $5,000 grant to support the expansion of Mouse programs across the country. 

This grant will enable Mouse to provide almost 5,000 youth with innovative learning programs such as Garage Robotics, Serious Games Design, Green Tech, and Webmaker.

We deeply appreciate the support of The Best Buy Foundation, Pinkerton Foundation, Symantec, and The Xerox Foundation that will help Mouse to better prepare and empower the next generation of technology leaders!
