Cox Charities is the philanthropic arm of Cox Communications, dedicated to supporting initiatives that strengthen communities across its markets. Through its Cox Charities Community Grant program, the organization funds impactful nonprofit programs in specific local areas, including Phoenix, Arizona.
The purpose of the Cox Charities Community Grant is to champion positive change in local communities by funding initiatives in three key areas: K-12 STEM Education, Conservation and Sustainability, and Food and Housing Insecurity. The grant provides targeted support to organizations working to enhance educational opportunities, promote environmental responsibility, and address critical basic needs.
The 2025 Cox Charities Community Grant for Phoenix offers $10,000 awards to eligible nonprofit organizations with programs aligned to the listed focus areas. The funding must support work that takes place within the Phoenix area and directly benefits the local community. Funding may be used for program costs consistent with one of the three categories: hands-on STEM learning and related tools, clean energy and waste reduction projects, and efforts that increase access to nutritious food or provide housing stability.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations that serve the Phoenix, Arizona market. The application process is straightforward and includes providing details about the project name, requested amount, program focus, and specific category alignment. Applications open on June 1, 2025, and must be submitted no later than June 30, 2025.
Applicants can access a downloadable version of the application and are encouraged to review all focus area options carefully when preparing their submissions.
