A year ago, Arizona’s nonprofits reported devastating losses, and more recently studies show a long-term decline in giving to nonprofits — across all racial and ethnic groups and, particularly those households headed by younger donors who are even less inclined to give.

Cox Charities giving grants up to $10K for Arizona nonprofits

A year ago, Arizona’s nonprofits reported devastating losses, and more recently studies show a long-term decline in giving to nonprofits — across all racial and ethnic groups and, particularly those households headed by younger donors who are even less inclined to give.

For more than 25 years Cox employees, through Cox Charities, have donated more than $9 million to help the Arizona communities in which they live and work. Last year alone, Cox Charities distributed nearly $500,000 to local nonprofits.

Cox employees are now stepping up again with an opportunity for Arizona nonprofits, focused on K-12 education, diversity and inclusion and environment/sustainability programs, to receive grants of up to $10,000.

This year’s grant cycle goes from Monday, May 2 through Friday, May 27. Click here to apply. Nonprofits can also review Cox Charities guidelines in further detail there.

In 2021, Cox Charities grants went to 113 Arizona nonprofits serving communities in Phoenix and Tucson Metros. Cox Charities funds are raised through employee-driven fundraisers and personal contributions throughout the year, as well as community fundraising partnerships.

“For more than 25 years, Cox Charities has been a vital lifeline for Arizona nonprofits focused on youth, education, diversity and sustainability. These shining stars have had to carry our community on their shoulders and Cox Charities is proud to support them,” Percy Kirk, senior vice president and region manager for Cox Arizona, shared in a statement. “We are also proud that our employees not only financially support the work of those in our community, but also volunteer more than 51,000 hours of their time and talent each year to local organizations.”

Cox Charities does not fund general or capital campaigns and is open to organizations that possess 501c3 status. Grant awards will be announced in the fall.
