“The Benicia Community Foundation grant will make a significant difference to Carquinez Village. We are investing it in ways that will strengthen our technological capacity–which is critical if we are to serve our members and stay abreast of the times.”
“I would like to express my gratitude to the BCF for their gracious grant to support the Benicia Makerspace. This is especially beneficial to us as, due to the Covid pandemic, we haven’t been able to host our annual STEAM Discovery Festival Fundraiser.”
