Our Cox Florida Community – Gulf Coast

Cox's Southeast Region and our Cox Florida markets in Escambia, Okaloosa and South Walton 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:

• Education – Realizing the importance of education, we support initiatives that enhance educational efforts, particularly at the K-12 level.
  
  
• 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 – We support programs targeted toward providing children the essentials they need to grow up into self-supporting and contributing members of society.
  
  
• 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.

How We Can Help

In Florida, Cox offers a variety of options for helping community organizations to reach their maximum potential through cash grants, in-kind donations, public service announcement plans and more.

All organizations requesting support from Cox in Escambia, Okaloosa and South Walton areas are invited to fill out the appropriate online application/sponsorship request form (listed below).

Grant Application Review Process

Cox has moved to two designated time frames in which sponsorship applications will be accepted and reviewed.  These application windows apply to both monetary and in-kind giving requests.  The current timeframe is:

• October 1 – November 30, 2020.  This window is for events taking place in January – June 2021.  Annual sponsorship requests should also be included in this application window.  Once the application window closes on November 15, we will review the requests and notify you of our decision in early December.

In addition to these two windows, we will continue to offer our Cox Charities grants to local schools and nonprofits.  This Spring, we will notify schools about the application window for the Cox Charities Innovation in Education grant and this fall, we will be accepting requests for community grants.
