Local nonprofit organizations across the Gulf Coast have until March 2 to apply for funding through Cox Communications’ annual community investment grant program.
- Cox Charities, funded entirely through employee payroll donations and one-time gifts, awards grants each year to nonprofits working in three focus areas: youth innovation programs centered on science, technology, engineering, arts and math; conservation and environmental sustainability initiatives; and efforts advancing equal opportunity.
“What makes these grants special is that they are both employee-funded and awarded based on selections made by an employee committee,” said David Deliman, market vice president for Cox Gulf Coast. “The significant impact of Cox Charities reflects the dedication to our communities and the strong partnerships we’ve established with local nonprofits.”
The grants supplement Cox’s ongoing sponsorship support to Gulf Coast nonprofits throughout the year.
According to the company, the employee-driven program aims to strengthen local communities and support younger generations in leading healthier, more connected and more sustainable lives.
Nonprofit organizations interested in applying can submit applications at www.coxcharitieseast.org before the Monday, March 2 deadline.
