Cox Communications announced recently that applications are now open for the 2026 Cox Charities Community Investment Grants.
Local nonprofit organizations across the Gulf Coast are encouraged to apply by Monday, March 2, 2026, at www.coxcharitieseast.org.
Each year, Cox employees contribute to Cox Charities through recurring payroll donations and one-time gifts. These employee-driven funds are then awarded annually to nonprofits that support key focus areas, including:
- Youth innovation programs centered in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM)
- Conservation and environmental sustainability initiatives
- Efforts advancing equal opportunity
These grants complement the ongoing sponsorship support Cox provides to Gulf Coast nonprofits throughout the year.

Through Cox Charities, employees help strengthen local communities and support the next generation in leading happier, more connected, and more sustainable lives.
