DONOR HIGHLIGHTS Verizon Foundation The Verizon Foundation has been a long-time supporter of Harlem School of the Arts, awarding more than $400,000 over the last twenty-three years. Most recently, the Verizon Foundation made substantial investments in digital learning at HSA, supporting capital improvements, programming, and equipment purchases. Through a $125,000 award made in 2020, HSA transformed an unusable space into a technology-based learning environment, more than doubling the area and hardware available for digital learning and art making. Construction was completed in 2021. The 300 sq. ft. Verizon Tech Lab is outfitted with eight learning stations and supports instruction in music and podcast production, graphic design, digital photography and cinematography, comic book art, animation, robotics, and more. With an additional grant of $100,000 made in the fall of 2022, HSA will imbed technology-based learning across all disciplines, to ensure the students in our community are prepared to participate in a digital society. HSA thanks the Verizon Foundation for its vision and support.
