Cox is increasing Arizona grants to at least $10,000 and some to $20,000. Cox employees, who fund Cox Charities through personal contributions, have raised $540,000 this year for nonprofits in the communities where they live and work.
School Connect AZ in Glendale received one of the grants.
“We are deeply grateful to Cox Charities for this $10,000 grant, which will expand STEM programming access for Title I schools across Maricopa County. As high-tech companies continue to establish roots in metro Phoenix, connecting students with industry leaders has never been more critical. This grant empowers School Connect to build sustainable partnerships between schools and STEM businesses through multiple strategies—including Classroom to Career Workshops, CAFEs, and field trip opportunities,” s
