Early this year, the EMC Insurance Foundation awarded $1,000 grants to 91 nonprofit organizations selected by top EMC insurance agencies. Those nonprofit organizations competed through online public voting on this website for an additional $25,000 grant. The foundation awarded the additional grants based on the public votes and a review of categories for each organization, including overall community impact, organizational support and the population served. The remaining $9,000 was divided between the six other organizations that received the most votes out of the nearly 1 million votes that were cast.
