How This Grant Came to Life

At a recent networking event, Vision Nonprofit board members Jillian, Patrick, and Eric connected with UCBMA and learned about their grant program, which provides funding to support children in Butler County. Recognizing an opportunity to help a student in need, we quickly applied for a grant—and we were absolutely thrilled when we found out that Vision Nonprofit had been selected!

This grant directly impacts a local student who requires assistive technology for their education. With these funds, we are providing an iPad that will help this student access their schoolwork, zoom in on content, and engage with their learning in a way that works for them.

Delivering Impact: A Moment of Gratitude

To celebrate this moment, Joey, William, Eric, and Jillian proudly held the big check from UCBMA, knowing that their support will make a lasting difference. This week, we will personally deliver the iPad to the student, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed.

We cannot thank UCBMA enough for their generosity, commitment, and belief in our mission. Their support proves that community-driven initiatives can change lives, one student at a time.
