This will be the nonprofit health and human services agency’s second Service Grant from the Taproot Foundation. The grant will provide the agency, which serves San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, with a volunteer team of web development professionals to redesign the agency’s web site. The estimated value of the grant is $35,000. The new site will launch in the first half of 2007.
“The Taproot Foundation provides a valuable service to both the nonprofit and professional communities.
