The Cowan Community Program includes the following programs:
Matching Gifts Program - Funding under this program is a result of the Foundation agreeing to match funds raised by events initiated, organized and run by a Cowan Company. These events raise funds for specific charitable organizations in Cowan communities and are identified as Cowan events in those communities. These funds have largely been directed towards a particular initiative or program being operated by the selected charitable organizations.
Community Volunteer Program - The Cowan Community Volunteer Program annually distributes funds to charities selected by volunteering Cowan employees and their families. As outlined in the program guidelines, employees meeting the eligibility requirements, which include 50 hours of volunteer work in the year, select the qualified organization that will receive funding. Each grant is $750 per participating employee.
Holiday Card Program - Funding under this program occur in the spirit of giving during the holiday season. The recipients of the program are determined annually.
