Jack Dorsey, the Co-Founder and CEO of Twitter and Square, announced an investment of $3 million through the charitable organization #StartSmall to BUILD (BUILD.org). The funds will be used to scale and support their digital educational programs, which concentrate on racial equality through youth entrepreneurship.
“This grant will serve as a catalyst to accelerate our digital transformation and ultimately enable BUILD to provide entrepreneurship education to youth in underserved communities across the nation,” said Ayele Shakur, the CEO of BUILD, in a statement.
The funding will specifically assist the COVID-19 Virtual Design Challenge, which will allow its users to incorporate real-world learning and creative thinking to create youth driven solutions directed towards mental and physical wellness.
