The Muse Machine and The Dayton Metro Library Awarded $88,756 Grant from PNC Foundation

The Muse Machine and The Dayton Metro Library have been awarded a $88,756 grant from the PNC Foundation to teach area children lessons in spending, sharing and saving and equip parents to reinforce the lessons at home. PNC provided the funding in support of Grow Up Great, its bilingual program in early childhood education. The program will deliver basic financial literacy concepts, such as importance of making choices, value of people, things and money and differences in needs and wants to preschool children of our region.

“Through this grant from PNC, we can reach children in our region at an early age and help establish smart habits that will last a lifetime,” said Beth Wright, of The Muse Machine.

Late last year, PNC announced the extension of Grow Up Great by $250 million over 10 years to strengthen existing programs in math, science and the arts and reach more children, families and teachers. Considered one of the most comprehensive corporate school readiness programs of its kind, it has earned national recognition for programming through $40 million in grants to numerous non-profit organizations and other PNC funded initiatives.

“Extensive research shows the return on investments in high-quality early education is significant and long lasting - positively impacting our children, society and economy,” said Dave Melin, Regional President, PNC-Dayton. “Through this financial education initiative with The Muse Machine and the Dayton Metro Library, we can help young children in our region better understand that everything has value and show parents how to turn everyday moments into financial learning experiences for their kids.
