The IronMountain Solutions Employee Peaks Fund (EPF) provides grants to community-based nonprofit organizations operating in Huntsville, Alabama, or surrounding communities where IMS employees reside. The EPF supports projects that improve the quality of life and align with specific priority areas including arts and culture, basic needs, economic opportunity, education, environment, health and wellness, neighborhoods and community, and recreation.
Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations whose services are open to all members of the community, regardless of race, religious beliefs, political affiliation, background, or ability to pay. Previous recipients from the last two grant periods are ineligible to apply. Ineligible uses include conference expenses, debt reduction, political activities, grants to individuals, event sponsorships, private foundations, and campaigns.
Grant requests must be submitted electronically by April 16, 2025, at 4:00 PM CDT. Awards typically range from $2,000 to $7,500, though awarded amounts may vary depending on available funding and employee voting results. Grant funds will be distributed in June 2025, and grant recipients must agree to reporting requirements and participation in the Employee Peaks Fund Grant Reception. Additionally, grantees must allow IronMountain Solutions and EPF to promote their grant award via social media and other platforms.
Applications must include a signed grant application form, a detailed grant budget, financial documentation, and a high-resolution organization logo. Selected applicants may be asked to participate in a site visit prior to award decisions.
