In keeping with its quarter of a century tradition of supporting community schools, Ecolab Inc. has awarded more than $775,000 in 2009 through its Ecolab Foundation’s Visions for Learning grant program in 12 communities across the U.S., with $190,000 distributed in the St. Paul area. More than 300 schools and thousands of students benefited from the program this year nationwide.

“Ecolab has always consistently supported education, utilizing a variety of means,” said Douglas M. Baker, Ecolab’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The focus of the Visions for Learning grant program is to help augment the classroom curriculum for students in grades K-12 by providing additional classroom materials to help reach learning goals. We know teachers frequently spend personal funds on materials to improve the learning experience for their students. We feel strongly that partnering with teachers to improve classroom materials and their availability helps student achievement.”
