Triple J Enterprises recently contributed educational tax credits to 15 eligible institutions on island. Among the beneficiaries were the Northern Marianas Technical Institute, the Northern Mariana Islands Humanities Council, and Mt. Carmel School.<\/p>\n

To ensure that Triple J meets this commitment, asked all ETC recipients were asked this year to answer a short questionnaire describing how their institution used Triple J\u2019s contributions in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir responses helped us make the decisions for this year\u2019s allocations and we will continue to do so moving forward,\u201d said Tracy Guerrero, Triple J Saipan Inc. controller.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage all eligible organizations to continue to submit their requests for support as we are always looking for new ways to touch the lives of those in need,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

For over three decades and hand in hand with its business expansion, Triple J Enterprises has helped improve the quality of lives of those in need and build better\u00a0communities through its philanthropic contributions and personal involvement in nonprofit causes and to individuals.<\/p>\n

NMTIchief executive officer, Agnes McPhetres, said: \u201cOn behalf of the NMTI board and our entire NMTI family, I extend my sincere appreciation and gratitude to Triple J Enterprises for its generosity and continuous support of our programs. This great partnership demonstrates the important symbiotic relationship between NMTI, the training institute, and Triple J Enterprises, the employer. It\u2019s contributions as such that help support our goal of educating our community members in the present to sustain our future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polly DLG Masga, board chair of the NMI Humanities Council, had similar sentiments: \u201cWe are sincerely thankful for the donation made by Triple J Saipan.\u00a0 The donation helps contribute to our ongoing efforts to produce and fund programs for the council.\u00a0 Triple J\u2019s generosity makes a positive impact to the success of reaching our goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Galvin Deleon Guerrero, MCS president, said the ETC contribution is \u201ca tremendous help to our school and fund two important resources: workbooks for our elementary students and scholarships\/financial aid for roughly a fifth of our student body. We truly appreciate the support.\u201d (PR)<\/p>\n
