HCI receives prestigious grant from Foundation
The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, one of the largest private foundations in the United States recently awarded HCI – Holly Community, Inc., contractor to the Maryland Technology Assistance Program, a $100,000 grant over two years to expand assistive technology services on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
The focus of this grant will allow for the development of a small loan and demonstration site to be established in Easton, provide localized training and assistance for the purchase of assistive technology, and secure a part-time staff person for one-on-one personalized assistance.
“We are honored to be chosen as a grantee of the Weinberg Foundation and are appreciative of their support to expand community resources for individuals with disabilities on the Eastern Shore,” states Pattie Tingle, HCI’s Executive Director.
For the past 40 years, HCI has been a leader in innovative support for individuals with disabilities. HCI partners with Maryland TAP to bring state-of-the-art technology and resources to individuals living in eight counties of the Eastern Shore.
