Greater Ravalli Foundation secures IBM workstations for six valley schools
The Greater Ravalli Foundation http://www.tgrf.org/ has partnered with the IBM Corporation to supply six Ravalli County school districts with reading computers, together worth more than $100,000, that are designed to greatly enhance literacy and math skills in young students.
Formed in 2002, the Greater Ravalli Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to serving educational needs in the Bitterroot Valley, according to its mission statement. Jim Cote, a co-chair of the foundation, said the idea to get the IBM "Young Explorers" computers came about through his talks with Mary Olsen, who is in charge of IBM’s educational programs in the western U.S.
The foundation also just secured a $2 million endowment for scholarships
