“At this time when rural America is having a moment, this generous commitment of foundational support will give us the runway to build the strategies for remote work, digital skilling and scalable startups to allow us to build a model for strong, resilient economies across rural America,” said Matt Dunne, CORI’s Founder and Executive Director. One of Siegel Family Endowment’s core strategic goals is expanding access to the benefits of the digital economy, which has been advanced through partnerships with a wide range of grantees and partner organizations. SFE’s holistic approach to achieving this goal has driven longstanding partnerships with organizations as diverse as Scratch, a creative coding platform that enhances computational thinking skills for young people, and Pursuit, a skills-training program that trains adults with the greatest need and potential for their first jobs in tech.
