Fortera’s Post

It is Giving Tuesday, and we are pleased to take part in the social movement by making a donation to Simpson University. The Fortera Foundation is donating enough ReAct low-carbon cement for 250 yards of concrete for the Maurice and Marianne Johannessen Veteran Success Center (VSC). ReAct will be used in the new building’s slab and footings, reducing the center’s carbon footprint. The VSC will provide crucial resources to veterans as they transition from military service to student and civilian life. The VSC will also be home to STEM program facilities, including new engineering and technology labs. Fortera CEO Ryan Gilliam said, “Simpon University is a tremendous asset for Northern California and Southern Oregon, bringing important resources to historically underserved communities. As Redding is also home to Fortera’s first green cement manufacturing facility, we are honored to play a part in supporting education, veteran success, and sustainable infrastructure in our own community.” As part of a Giving Tuesday campaign, Simpon University is kicking off the final phase of fundraising to bring in the remaining $1.5M needed to complete the VSC.
