Grantee Spotlight

PAR-Recycle Works was awarded one of our three $100,000 grants in 2023. PAR-Recycle Works is a unique non-profit model; one organization with two parts - one that prepares previously incarcerated men and women to successfully re-enter society, and one that helps the environment by recycling electronic equipment. The Impact100 award has enabled PAR to hire a Training, Development, and Job Coordinator.
