Grant Committee (Chair Clay Kolar)
Spring 2025: After the Broadband Committee won the the Connect Humanity Grant, residual funds were authorized as a donation toward technology costs at our two schools in Makanda Township.
Makanda Township is pleased to donate some of the Connect Humanity grant funds to Unity Point School to assist with the purchase of laptops. Pictured are Principal Mary Beth Goff, Makanda Township Supervisor Sara Lipe, Makanda Township Trustee (later Supervisor) Mike Holub along with two eager Unity Point students!
Makanda Township is also pleased to donate some of the Connect Humanity grant funds to Giant City School to assist with the purchase of new furniture to create a flexible, student-centered learning environment. Pictured are Makanda Township Trustee (later Supervisor) Mike Holub, Giant City Principal Kristopher Mason and Makanda Township Supervisor Sara Lipe.
A special thanks to the Makanda Township Broadband Committee for helping make these donations possible.
