　　The PPG Foundation invested more than $10,000 in the Guilford Education Alliance and Greensboro Science Center in 2017. The grants were made on behalf of PPG’s local industrial coatings facility.

　　The $5,478 grant to the Guilford Education Alliance supports the organization’s efforts to engage the community in supporting the local schools and developing the future workforce through a variety of programs and advocacy. These include the Teacher Supply Warehouse, Rookie & Mentor Teacher of the Year, Community Reader Days and Let’s Talk Education Speaker Series.

　　The $5,000 Greensboro Science Center grant was for the facility’s aquarium expansion project, which will add new visitor experiences, increase educational opportunities and better position Greensboro as a science-based tourism destination.

　　“PPG and the PPG Foundation are proud to support these two organizations as they work to expand the educational offerings in the Greensboro area,” said Monica Huerta, PPG plant manager, Greensboro.
