GraceKennedy Group has announced an investment of over $64 million in back-to-school support, ahead of the start of the 2023-24 academic year. GraceKennedy’s efforts are being led by the company’s two foundations – the Grace & Staff Community Development Foundation and the GK Foundation. This year, the Grace & Staff Foundation has increased the number of students participating in its annual tuition assistance programme from 1,333 to 1,520. A total of $34.95m has been committed to the programme, which covers tuition support, lunch and travel costs. For the first time, the foundation has included a grant for 10 special-needs students.
