Cox Charities Community Investment grants will be given to nonprofit organizations with outstanding programs that benefit the Arkansas Cox Communications service areas. Funds are targeted toward nonprofit programs that focus on education, technology, social issues and the arts. The Cox Charities Education Grant program provides funding to K-12th grade teachers that support technology, programs and curriculum that promotes students’ academic success and enhance the educational experience.
“Through Cox Charities, our employees are excited to be able to give back to the communities where we live, work and serve. It has never been more important to support as we continue to recover from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic,” said Curt Stamp, market vice president for Arkansas. “Our employee-funded program allows us to support the teachers and nonprofits that positively impact our area, and for that, we couldn’t be more proud.”
