The Dade Public Education Fund approached Citicorp Foundation
to support a new program called “FamilyTech”.
Through FamilyTech, low-income families are given their
own home computers and the training to use them. The Ed
Fund asked Citicorp Foundation to provide a leadership grant
to turn this program into a major, large-scale effort. The
Foundation responded favorably by pledging $300,000 for
two years to create Citibank FamilyTech. By the end of 1998,
the Foundation’s leadership grant has leveraged more
than $1.4 million in funding and computer donations. The
Citibank FamilyTech program has already made a difference
in the lives of more than 1,000 families at 10 public schools
across Miami-Dade County.
