Nordstrom Inc. has awarded a $30,000 grant to Choices Education Group, which will help the nonprofit reach more than 7,000 students in 10 southern and midwestern states.
The Seattle-based nonprofit has raised $180,000 in corporate grants so far this year.
Seattle retailer Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN - News) has now awarded five grants totaling $212,500 to Choices.
The nonprofit uses donations to pay for materials and training for volunteers, many of them from the business community, who speak to children about career, life and education options.
Leo Muller, Choices' executive director, says his organization's programs have reached 5 million children in all 50 states since 1985, including 12,570 in Washington this year.
Choices Education Group's current budget is about $660,000.

My Say:
This is a big amount of money that has been awarded to these education programs and wil help nonprofit students get a proper education. I like this article, because it shows some people do care about this educational department that we have, and it is important to have the proper training in becoming great teachers. Choice Education Group did a good thing by donating that money, because it will benefit these kids and them as a company.
