How we support the communities we serve

Cox understands the importance of serving the communities in which our employees and customers live and work. For us, philanthropy is more than a buzzword – it’s a mission and an opportunity to use our time, talent and technology in ways that strengthen cities, businesses and future generations.

Cox is proud to make a difference in the communities it serves and in which its employees live. Focusing on organizations that support youth and education, Cox provided millions of dollars through cash and in-kind donations to local community organizations last year alone.

When considering applications for support, Cox uses the following guidelines:

• We strive to develop and support various initiatives that impact people’s lives, with a critical focus on youth and education, diversity and environmental issues. 
• Diversity is a core value at Cox and we strongly encourage applications from organizations that meet the needs of our community's unique and diverse population, including minorities, women and the disadvantaged.
  
• Driving positive environmental change — inside our company and within the communities we serve — is one of the most important things we do. 
  
• We will consider partnerships that foster and encourage, promote and create opportunities for environmental sustainability.
  
• Cox also looks for opportunities to involve our employees in community projects, combining our financial support with the time and talent of employee volunteers.
  
• All opportunities that further our goal of strengthening the social, economic and educational infrastructure of our community will be considered.
  
• Requests must serve the needs of the communities where Cox operates, and our employees work and live.
