TFMoran Contributes to the NH Children’s Scholarship Fund

In TFMoran’s support for New Hampshire schools, we recently contributed $5,000 to the New Hampshire Children’s Scholarship Fund, an Education Tax Credit Scholarship. This financial assistance is available to New Hampshire children of low- and moderate- income families to attend K-12 schools that best fit their needs. These scholarships can apply to private schools, out-of-district schools, and homeschooling, which make these options more financially available.

According to their website, since 1998 the nonprofit national charity organization Children’s Scholarship Fund has awarded more than $789 million in scholarships to the families of over 174,000 low-income children. Education Tax Credit scholarships have been available to New Hampshire children since 2013, after the New Hampshire legislature passed the Opportunity Scholarship Act in 2012.

Thanks to Kate Baker, Executive Director of Children’s Scholarship Fund New Hampshire who visited our office for a fun photo op!

FIRST Robotics Team Red Storm 509 sponsored by TFMoran had many successes during their 2019 season. The team says they “greatly exceeded [their] previous barriers and have progressed as a team and an organization”. Successes such as moving on to the New England District Championship Competition and competing at the FIRST World’s Championship Competition in Detroit, Michigan for the first time in ten years.

During the second district competition held at UNH, they ranked 1st out of 30+ teams in qualification rounds, becoming finalists at this event for the first time in the team’s history. Their performance at this event earned them a spot in the New England District Championship held at WPI. In this event, they performed exceptionally well and were an alliance captain. The team moved on from this tournament to a spot in the World Championship Event held in Detroit, their greatest accomplishment of the entire season.

Redstorm Robotics is involved in community outreach such as local, state and global efforts. For their local projects, they plan to host STEM-based events to demonstrate their robot to hundreds of students and introduce them to careers in STEM fields. They also hope to build 3-D printers for schools and libraries across New Hampshire which are available to the public. For their international outreach efforts, they plan to assist third world countries by providing clean drinking water, medication, bug netting and more.

We are proud to be a sponsor, and look forward to supporting your future endeavors! Great job!
