FOCUS Broadband is committed to supporting the communities they serve. To show their commitment, FOCUS Board of Directors awarded $40,000 in Community Connections grants to nineteen local non profit organizations working to make a positive impact.
FOCUS Broadband received 52 grant applications requesting over $112,.000 for causes across Brunswick, Columbus, Robeson, Duplin and Pender Counties.
“Being involved with this initiative is truly rewarding, and it’s inspiring to see how the grants empower local organizations to make a meaningful difference in our communities,” said Jance Gore, a Board Director of FOCUS Broadband.
