access essential resources to achieve their goals.

“Inspiredu was honored to receive an invitation from the Taco Bell Foundation to apply for a
grant in support of our mission. This grant allows Inspiredu to reach more learners with the
tools and guidance they need to build a successful future and navigate the tech industry,” said
Richard Hicks, CEO of Inspiredu. “We’re grateful to the Taco Bell Foundation for believing in our

take bold approaches to creating new opportunities for young people.

“We believe that empowering young people is one of the most meaningful ways we can invest
in the future,” said Lisa Lane Cardin, Executive Director of the Taco Bell Foundation. “This
record investment is a testament to the power of community-driven change and the limitless
potential that exists when we remove barriers and open doors.”
