The IMPACT Grant is a legacy committee that started within TargetX and has grown exponentially over the years. This grant is an employee-funded initiative dedicated to helping our customers support the success of their students and drive better outcomes on their campuses. With our employees’ continued support and the generous company match donation, Liaison has provided our clients with $190,000 in IMPACT Grants!
In 2019, when this grant began, Washtenaw Community College was the single recipient receiving $11,000 for a student emergency fund. In 2024, we awarded $50,000 between three institutions to fund a former foster and homeless student initiative, a food literacy and security program, and a BIPOC therapy student success initiative. Learn more about this year’s winners below featuring pictures of their acceptance speeches live at experience LIAISON in Anaheim this past June.
