NGOs can now apply for Boeing grants
DUBAI - Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the UAE are invited to submit proposals to be considered for community grants given by The Boeing Company.
The grants are given to proposals, which specifically target projects that support science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, workforce development and placement programmes in the UAE.
“Boeing Middle East is committed to supporting the strategic vision and economic diversification plans of the UAE. We have a rich track record of partnering with community organisations around the region but this year, we will focus our efforts on one project in the UAE for greater impact. The emphasis of our Global Corporate Citizenship programme on STEM education and workforce development is based on our belief that these two areas have the most potential to deliver long-term benefits for the UAE,” said Jeffrey Johnson, president of Boeing Middle East.
Proposals submitted for STEM education programmes should target children in the early or primary and secondary education phase, while also providing teachers with the right tools to creatively engage with their students.
To be considered for the grant, job training and placement programme submissions should promote the economic well-being of the UAE by helping youth, women, college dropouts, people with disabilities, the unemployed or those lacking the skills needed to find meaningful employment opportunities.
Between 2009 and 2011, Boeing funded education programmes and entrepreneurship training for a large number of people across the region, principally through projects organised by top non-governmental organisations.
