Grant Declination: UTC Foundation

BETF and BDPA Boston chapter submitted a grant proposal to UTC Foundation earlier in the year. We recently learned that our proposal has been declined when they wrote us:


Dear Wayne Hicks of BDPA Education & Technology Foundation:

Thank you for participating in the United Technologies online grant request process.

UTC is committed to corporate responsibility, especially in communities where we do business. Our strategic giving program is aligned with this commitment as well as our business objectives. We support non-profits in the areas of math and science education, arts and culture, and the environment. Our geographic focus areas are Hartford, Boston, New York City, and Washington DC.

We have given your request careful consideration, but our budget is fully committed and we are not able to support your initiative.

Sincerely,
The Corporate Citizenship and Community Investment team



BETF will continue to seek funding in support of BDPA Boston MetroWest chapter and the other 50 chapters in the nation. You can help by making a secure online donation!
