Amazon will give one million dollars to help “underserved communities” in Northern Virginia public schools.

The trillion dollar tech company that’s setting up shop in National Landing said in a blog post that the donation is for students at 59 public schools in Arlington and Alexandria counties. Through Amazon’s “Right Now Needs Fund,” the schools will get prepaid vouchers that can only be used on Amazon’s website to purchase items like food, supplies for at-home learning, warm clothing, and hygiene items.

“The start of this school year has been difficult for many families across our new home of Northern Virginia, and we are determined to provide support to the students who need it most,” Jay Carney, Amazon Senior Vice President, wrote in the post. “At Amazon, we are always looking for innovative solutions to tough challenges, and we are confident that the flexibility and speed built into our new Right Now Needs Fund will help ensure that more students from underserved communities can focus on their studies, and not fall behind as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.”

This follows other donations to area schools. Last month, Amazon gave nearly 800 Mi-Fi devices and $75,000 for the purchasing of headphones with mics to Arlington County to assist students with distance learning (the school year initially started with some tech troubles).

Arron Gregory, Arlington Public School’s Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, in a tweet responding to the news said the public school system is “elated” with donation and thinks the equipment “will assist with closing the digital divide.”

We are elated about this partnership and equity initiative that will provide another pathway to fill gaps to meet our students' physiological needs. Additionally, the MiFis will assist with closing the digital divide.

Amazon’s November 2018 announcement that they were setting up a headquarters in Arlington and Alexandria (now, “National Landing”) was met with pretty significant pushback, mostly due to concerns around displacement of lower-income residents, reduction of affordable housing, the company’s relationship with ICE, and its history as being anti-union.

Amazon has since responded with donations to various local organizations in a show of support to their new home. In April, they gave $10,000 to Alexandria schools for a robotics program and $3 million towards affordable housing in the region. Earlier this year, nearly $4 million went to a computer science training non-profit and, last month, Amazon provided $100,000 to an Arlington non-profit that helps families who are survivors of domestic abuse.

The company isn’t exactly strapped for cash. With many people relying on the company for safe, at-home delivery of goods during the pandemic, it was reported in July that Amazon posted its biggest profit ever in its 26-year history.
