Comodo Launches Philanthropic Initiative Targetting K - 12 Education Segment to Advance Technology Learning Opportunities among Children
JERSEY CITY, NJ March 06, 2008 - Comodo, a global Certification
Authority and leading provider of Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions today announced it has begun awarding
grants to schools in lower income communities dedicated to providing technology enrichment learning opportunities for these
children. Importantly, this initiative is meant to help foster broader understanding within school age children of key
technologies related to computers and the Internet.
This new initiative is consistent with Comodo's dedication to empowering consumers with tools and technology to enable
them to fully reap the benefits that the Internet offers. "Comodo's commitment to giving back is deeply ingrained in our
culture." said Beverley Daynes, - Vice President of Finance Comodo. "We spend considerable resources providing
free, award winning desktop security to end users and we are proud to continue our tradition by expanding our support to
empower children to be technologically literate."
The first school to be granted an award was the Eighteenth Avenue Elementary School of Science and Technology in Newark,
NJ. This grant supports a special needs program among second and third graders to help accelerate their use of computers for
learning. Comodo is planning on expanding this program to include technology, hardware and other potential services related
to authentication to reduce children's exposure to online predators.
Grant recipients will be chosen by the Comodo Grant Review Committee, which is comprised of Comodo employees with diverse
backgrounds and range from individual contributors to management level employees. Interested not-for-profit organizations can
contact Comodo directly.
