Esri Supports Code for America
Seattle was having trouble gathering cash to get its program (akin to “Teach for America” but for code) up and running unlike other cities that have all they need. An event on Sunday brought out checks from Esri and Microsoft.
The other four cities—Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, D.C. and Boulder—have already raised the funds for their projects. But Seattle hasn’t done so, one of the reasons why members of the Code for America team were in Seattle last night.
Among those who offered support were Microsoft and ESRI, both of which wrote $50,000 checks. Mike and Monica Harrington, who were not in attendance, also donated $10,000 to the cause.
