CCBank and Security Home Mortgage Contribute $2.25 Million to Utah’s Children First Education Fund, Supporting Students with Special Needs.
Pleasant Grove, UT (July 17, 2024)
CCBank and its subsidiary company, Security Home Mortgage, are proud to announce their combined contribution of $2.25 million to Utah’s Children First Education Fund (CFEF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit scholarship granting organization with a mission to provide school choice options for students with disabilities. One hundred percent of the scholarship contribution will be allocated to supporting Utah students within low- and moderate-income families, underscoring CCBank and Security Home Mortgage’s commitment to fostering educational opportunities and supporting community development.
Championed in 2019 by the Utah State Legislature’s passing of the Carson Smith Opportunity Scholarship, the CFEF has been instrumental in ensuring that every child with special needs gets the education they deserve. Over 80,000 Utah special needs students are eligible to participate in the program.
Matt Field, President and CFO of CCBank, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration. “At CCBank, we believe that education is the cornerstone of a thriving community. Personally, as the father of a special needs child, we have experienced first-hand the challenges that exist for these students as they swim with the masses in our school systems. Our partnership with Utah’s Children First Education Fund reflects our dedication to supporting those students that have special education needs. By investing in our children’s future we are, by extension, investing in the future of our community. We are honored to support an organization that shares our vision for helping those in our community with needs and the next generation through education.”
Ronnie Daniel, Executive Director of the Children First Education Fund, highlighted the importance of CCBank’s support. “We are incredibly grateful for CCBank’s generous contribution. This funding will enable us to expand our programs and reach even more children in need, especially those who are currently on a waitlist. It is partnerships like this that make a tangible difference in the lives of our students, providing them with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.”
