Charity Requests
Charitable Giving
At Cox Communications, we’re proud to invest
in the communities we serve. Our commitment to Middle Georgia isn’t just a slogan or a few words pulled from our vision statement – it’s something we believe in and act on each day. To this end, we are actively committed to supporting the good works of local nonprofit organizations that enhance the quality of life for all Middle Georgians. For this reason, due to the growing volume of inquiries received and as part of our organization’s commitment to the environment, we ask that you please note that Cox’s nationwide process for requesting charitable support has changed.To apply for cash and/or in-kind support, charities are now required to complete a paperless online application. Requests will be automatically processed and prioritized in the order they are received.
Eligibility Requirements
Cox’s support is granted to nonprofits via cash sponsorships and Public Service Announcements. Cox’s primary focus relates to youth and education, but we also support projects that meet community needs and relate to our business interests. Special consideration is also given to organizations that subscr
ibe to Cox services and at which our employees volunteer.
Cox partners with nonprofits approved by the IRS as a 501c3 or 501c9 organization. Support is reserved for local organizations located within and providing services to the Middle Georgia communities we serve. Sponsorships are typically awarded for specific projects rather than for general operating support or capital campaigns.
Restrictions
Cox does not fund organizations without 501c3 or 501c9 tax exempt status, individuals, religious organizations for religious purposes, political candidates or lobbying organizations, organizations with a limited constituency, organizations operating outside of Cox service areas, nonprofit organizations operated by private industry, travel expenses for groups/individuals, advertising sponsorships, anti-business groups, team/athletic sponsorships or churches. While support is granted to all schools located within the Middle Georgia service area, Cox does not provide funding to school teams, class trips or fundraisers. Cox reserves the sole right to make special exceptions and may choose to support programs or events that do not fall within our accepted categories.
