Turning Technologies, LLC has established the Turning Foundation - a separate non-profit 501(c)3 organization. The mission of the foundation is... "To seek, secure and distribute resources in support of improving educational opportunities and student achievement in K-16 settings and enhancing community well-being." The main focus of our foundation will be to support efforts locally to enhance and improve education for all and with supports also directed toward the community in general. We will also work to connect our efforts locally to a broader national education and community development agenda. We hope to help facilitate the connections between education and community well-being, here in the greater Mahoning valley and nationally.
