“It’s a privilege to partner with the Taco Bell Foundation in educating and inspiring young people nationwide,” BGCWA President and CEO Kim Turner said. “Together, we are working to break down barriers to education for future leaders and provide children the tools they need for lifelong success.”

Boys & Girls Clubs of West Alabama says it is one of more than 450+ youth-serving organizations that will receive a portion of the nearly $23 million in community grants presented by the Taco Bell Foundation this year.

The nonprofit says the grants are an example of the Taco Bell Foundation’s mission to break down barriers to education and fuel young people’s boldest ambitions.

“Our Community Grants program is unique, because the funds are dispersed back to organizations in the local community they are raised in,” Taco Bell Foundation Chair Neil Borkan said. “We are so thankful for the generosity of our partners, customers and Taco Bell team members that make it possible for us to continue serving youth across the country.”
