We are excited to announce that HPN’s 2024 Social Responsibility Initiative donation will be to Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries and Scholarships program. https://lnkd.in/gs99FK-r The Building Brighter Futures program empowers Indigenous students by reducing financial barriers to post-secondary education. Since 1996, Indspire has provided over $217 million in financial support through more than 66,000 bursaries, scholarships, and awards. Their incredible impact has earned them recognition as a Top 10 Canadian Impact Charity for seven years running. HPN is particularly interested in supporting initiatives that encourage Indigenous and other under-represented populations to enter technology, cybersecurity, and business fields. As a national network, we’ve built our organization through participation of talent from all across our beautiful country, and we firmly believe that fostering diversity in these sectors is essential to driving innovation and creating equitable opportunities for all. Join us in celebrating the amazing work Indspire does to create equitable opportunities for Indigenous youth and future leaders. Together, we can help build brighter futures.
