Congratulations to our 2015 Deluxe Short & Tweet Grants Program recipients!

The Short & Tweet Grants Program was a Twitter-based grants program through which the Deluxe Corporation Foundation awarded $100,000 worth of grants – giving 10 nonprofits $10,000 each. The nominated organization’s primary mission had to fit the Deluxe Foundation’s grants focus areas. The program was part of Deluxe Corporation’s 100th anniversary celebration.

Here’s the list of recipients and the tweets that nominated them for the grants:
