A collaboration of Fairfield County businesses has awarded $300,000 in grants to area nonprofits to deal with educational inequities exacerbated by the pandemic.  The money from the Fairfield County Business Collaborative for Education Equity, which includes companies such a Pitney Bowes, Bank of America and Xerox is targeted for education-related initiatives in the Greater Bridgeport, Danbury, Norwalk, and Stamford areas.  The group says the programs that will benefit focus on summer learning, kindergarten and college readiness, and food insecurity and its impact on education.
