Frederick Alliance for Youth Receives Grant from Comcast Foundation The Frederick Alliance for Youth was recently awarded a $16,000 grant from the Comcast Foundation to support the organization's efforts to expand the education of the community's underserved youth. "We are grateful to Comcast for its generous contribution," said Scott Alexander, CEO of the Frederick Alliance for Youth. "With support from the Comcast Foundation, we will guide youth in developing their skills with technology while they create newsletters and a Web page. These youth will be given the opportunity to develop all aspects of both projects, including the writing, photography, designing and editing."
"Comcast is committed to partnering with local organizations to strengthen the communities that we serve," said Fred Graffam, regional senior vice president for Comcast. "We are proud to support the Frederick Alliance for Youth in their efforts to make a real and meaningful difference in our local communities."
