Since its founding in 1999, the Sundt Foundation has been committed to giving back to the communities where its employee-owners live and work. The Foundation awards about $1 million in grants annually to a wide variety of charitable organizations across the United States, reflecting its employee-owners’ passion for supporting their communities.
The Sundt Foundation awards quarterly grants to qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofits in 11 key regions across the United States, including various cities such as Tempe/Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, and more. These grants are 50-percent funded by contributions from Sundt employee-owners, with every dollar matched by the company. Grants are decided by local committees of employee-owners in each region, focusing on the causes they are most passionate about. The Foundation prioritizes a broad range of social issues, with special attention to under-served children and teens, domestic violence victims, and military veterans and their families.
