Harvard Pilgrim Mini Grant

On Friday, January 27, Sage’s Kindergarten class went on a field trip to the Museum of Natural History & Planetarium in Providence, RI. This field trip was funded by a grant that Kindergarten teacher, Manisha Jain, received through a Sage parent that is a Harvard Pilgrim Health Care employee.

About the Community Spirit 9/11 Mini-Grants Program:
Harvard Pilgrim Health Care created it to commemorate the first anniversary of September 11, 2001 through a special contribution to its Foundation. The Foundation administers this special fund and distributes the Mini-Grants to non-profit organizations that Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Health Plans Inc. and Dell Perot employees nominate. Since 2002, hundreds of Harvard Pilgrim, Health Plans Inc. and Dell Perot employees have had their Mini-Grants approved — benefiting schools, social service, and cultural and other community-based organizations where our employees live and work. Just last year, we distributed more than $370,000 in Mini-Grants throughout Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
