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!
Congratulations to our Fall 2025 recipients! See the list below.
Our Spring 2026 round will open to applications, February 1.
