The General Motors Foundation—soon to be no longer—has made four Flint, Michigan, non-profit groups ecstatic. The groups will receive a share of the $130,000 grant to further STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education.
The GM Foundation will split the $130,000 between Kettering FIRST Robotics, Boy Scouts Water and Woods Field Service Council and Flint River Watershed Coalition with $45,000, $30,000 and $35,000 going to each organization, according to MLive.
“When we improve access to STEM programs, we give students the necessary knowledge and skills to become the next generation of leaders,” said Vic Pereira, plant manager at GM Flint Metal Center.
GM predicts a major labor gap for future STEM-related jobs and it hopes these grants will help children become interested in related fields and prepare them for tomorrow’s jobs.
“We need to bridge that gap. It’s a major need and a growing movement that want to help kids get into those jobs,” Paul Eggebrecht, assistant manager of grant management for General Motors corporate giving office said.

These programs should only be made available to GM families.
“These programs should only be made available to GM families.”
Thankfully, you don’t qualify, and thankfully there is no such thing as a GM family, just as there is no such thing as a Toyota family. There is only families of people, not in how many old cars sit in your front yard.
You cannot live inside of a corporate entity and call it a family, nor can only buying products from a single corporate entity for decades constitute a family.
Nobody cares how long you’ve driven exclusively GM products, and nobody cares how many you’ve driven. It’s not something to boast about, and it makes you look like you have severe autism.
Frankly, you suck.
There use to be! It’s sad that people have lost their values. GM money should benifit GM families!
I may suck buy at least I stand by my values
“There use to be! It’s sad that people have lost their values.”
People never had the ‘values’ of adopting a corporation as a family. Only you do.
I still stand by my values that you still suck.
So GM donates money to kids that use that money to become educate themselves then those kids then go to work for GM competition or buys non GM cars!
GM money should go to support GM’S interest both now and in the future!
