Sphero Donates $110,000 To DonorsChoose.org
Boulder-based robotics developer Sphero--following efforts from local technology investment leader Brad Feld and his family foundation, the Anchor Point Foundation--said this morning that it has donated $110,000 to DonorsChoose.org, a nonprofit which helps teachers attract donations from individuals to help fund public school classroom projects. According to Sphero CEO Paul Berberian, the donation comes because "Education and exploration is the heart and soul of who we are". Sphero said the donation was made in Anchor Point Foundation, Silicon Valley Bank, Foundry Group, Needham & Company, Flex Logistics, and Nasco. Sphero's donation is being used for matching grants to teacher classroom requests specifically for Sphero products and activities. Brad Feld, who runs the Anchor Point Foundation with his wife, Amy Batchelor, has been actively boosting DonorsChoose.org with his own donations; Feld is also one of the founders of Foundry Group.
