Community Investment
With thanks to our members, we award $300,000 in grants annually to deserving organizations.
Our Community Investment Program provides grants to local non-profit organizations twice per year. An employee committee reviews all applications and then makes recommendations to our Board of Directors who approves grant recipients. Grants ranging generally from $3,000 to $25,000 are awarded, up to a total of $150,000 in each round. See our recent recipients below!
Announcing our Fall 2024 grant recipients! Check out the list below.
We will start accepting applications for spring on February 1, 2025.
