Today on GivingTuesday, as the world celebrates generosity and kindness, Cox employees are making their mark to build a better future for the next generation.
Because of their generous contributions, we’re able to award $105,000 to nonprofits throughout Virginia – and for the first time ever in North Carolina*.
Not only are the grants completely funded by employee donations, but employees also volunteer their time to read applications and vote to select the recipients supporting Cox’s social impact initiative known as 34 by 34.
Congratulations to the 2022 Cox Charities Community Grant Winners!
