The Institute for Disability Studies (IDS), at The University of 麻豆传媒色情片 (麻豆传媒色情片) has been presented a generous grant award, funded by Mr. Kurt Brautigam, through the Pinebelt Foundation.
Brautigam, a 麻豆传媒色情片 alumnus, founded the Calm Harbor Fund in 2023 to support various organizations whose work positively influences the education of children in local school districts. His vision to help the community is and will continue to make a significantly positive difference in Lamar and Forrest counties.
IDS received one of three Calm Harbor grant awards. All funding from the Calm Harbor award will be administered through IDS鈥� Project Recovery and will go directly toward the purchase of school supplies and uniforms for Forrest County students in need.
Ms. Caroline Nurkin, Director of Operations for the Pinebelt Foundation, and Brautigam, had the opportunity to visit with IDS staff on 麻豆传媒色情片鈥檚 Hattiesburg campus to learn more about the numerous services provided by the Institute. IDS is Mississippi's University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) and has provided interdisciplinary education, community services, and information dissemination for nearly 50 years.
IDS expresses special thanks to Brautigam and the Pinebelt Foundation for this generous award, which will enable IDS to expand its work in the community.
