The David Bohnett Foundation, created in 1999 by the philanthropist and technology entrepreneur bearing its name, has recently awarded the Ruth Ellis Center with a CyberCenter grant, which will provide 10 new fully loaded Mac workstations for use by youth in the organization’s Drop-In Center.
Among other initiatives, The Foundation provides state-of-the-art computing technology to roughly 60 community spaces nationwide that directly serve people who identify as LGBTQ. REC received its first David Bohnett Foundation CyberCenter grant in 2008 and has continued to reapply and receive new hardware every three years. The new computers will arrive later this month.
