Our Cox Northeast Region Community – Cleveland, Connecticut, and Rhode Island
Cox's Northeast Region and our markets in Cleveland, Connecticut and Rhode Island areas are grateful to be able to support the communities we serve. We partner with community organizations and charitable groups to lend our communications strength to their efforts in order to elevate their worthwhile causes while simultaneously telling their stories.
Our Local Giving Concerns
We demonstrate what we firmly believe by our focused areas of giving. We concentrate our support in, but are not limited to, the following key areas:
- Environment – We support organizations and initiatives that encourage environmental sustainability and conservation.
- Civic and Community – We support charitable and community organizations that make a positive difference in the communities we serve.
- Youth & Education – We support programs targeted toward providing children the essentials they need to grow up into self-supporting and contributing members of society. Realizing the importance of education, we support initiatives that enhance educational efforts, particularly at the K-12 level.
- Diversity – We support organizations that directly support the many facets of the richly diverse communities we serve.
- Technology – We support initiatives that enhance technology curriculum for children, particularly at the K-12 level.
