Oakland Mediation Center, a non-profit organization that is committed to the peaceful resolution of conflict through community mediation and education, is the winner of the Staples Foundation 2 Million and Change program Grant. The 2 Million & Change program is supported by Staples Foundation and is designed to give $2 million per year to non-profit organizations that support the Foundation's mission and are nominated by Staples associates.
Oakland Mediation Center was presented with a $1,000 award from the Staples Foundation as part of the 2 Million and Change program on Thursday, July 9.
The funds from the Staples Foundation will be used along with other contributions to positively impact school climate by implementing the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program in a school in Oakland County.
"Staples Foundation is committed to encouraging associates around the globe to make a difference in their local communities and through 2 Million and Change we enable them to directly support the programs where they personally see the greatest need," said Katy Dobbs, director of global community and giving for Staples Inc.
"Without grants and donations it is all but impossible for schools to implement programs proven to reduce bullying and violence," said by Bonnie Hanes, Oakland Mediation Center's executive director.
