Sundt Foundation

**GIVING BACK THROUGH QUARTERLY GRANTS** The Sundt Foundation is 50-percent funded by contributions from Sundt employee-owners. Every dollar is matched by the company and then distributed through quarterly grants to qualified 501c3 nonprofits in our eleven giving areas: Tempe/Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, North Texas, Central Texas, Sacramento, Irvine, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, Florida and the Pacific Northwest. Local committees of employee-owners decide which organizations to fund in each of our giving areas, ensuring we support causes they feel most passionate about. The Foundation considers a broad range of social issues but gives special focus to under-served children and teens, domestic violence victims, and military veterans and their families. The deadlines to apply for grants are March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. **DISASTER RELIEF DONATIONS to rebuild our communities** Every so often, our communities face grave challenges from unforeseen events such as [hurricanes](https://www.sundt.com/2017/09/08/sundt-makes-donations-to-help-texans-recover-from-harvey/), [wildfires](https://www.sundt.com/2013/08/06/sundt-foundation-supports-families-of-yarnell-hill-firefighters/) or the [COVID-19](https://www.sundt.com/2020/06/01/sundt-foundation-donates-200k-in-covid-19-relief-to-over-20-nonprofits/) pandemic. To help our neighbors in need, the Sundt Foundation gives emergency and disaster relief grants on a discretionary basis to organizations at the front lines of these crises. In May 2020 as families struggled with the immediate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sundt Foundation distributed $200,000 across all of our giving areas to support community food banks, domestic violence shelters and front-line healthcare workers. After the mass shooting in El Paso in 2019, the Foundation gave $10,000 to a victims fund. These funds as well as our employee-owners’ individual volunteer efforts have made a tremendous impact to protect, nourish, heal and rebuild several communities.
