State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today announced that in the third quarter of 2014, its Foundation made 22 grants totaling over $1 million dollars to support education, workforce development and sustainable employment programming at nonprofit organizations located in Quincy and Boston. The State Street Foundation is the charitable grant-making arm of State Street Corporation.

“Our investments in these programs help those in need to learn the skills necessary to support themselves and their families,” said Michael Scannell, senior vice president and head of State Street Foundation. “By increasing an individual’s earning potential and his or her chances of maintaining employment, we are directly contributing to the overall health and well-being of our local communities in Massachusetts and beyond.”

Adult Education and Employment

  • Thirteen grants totaling more than $600,000 support job placement and retention programs, secondary and post-secondary credential programs and English as a Secondary or Other Language (ESOL) programs. These grants focus on programs that provide training and services to help adults obtain and retain jobs with a determined career path.
  • A $150,000 grant was made to the New England Center for Arts & Technology (NECAT) for its culinary arts adult job-training program.
