PS 220 serves students in grades 6-8 from diverse backgrounds, including a large number of recent immigrants with limited English proficiency. The award will be used to supply classroom furniture, including desks, chairs and bookshelves.

MIPS donated $55,000 to the school, $1 for every processor it sold last year. The firm intends to continue the award program this year.
