More than $1 million awarded to support
initiatives in key communities
Deluxe, a trusted Payments and Data company, is pleased to
announce its Foundation’s grant awards for the year 2024,
reflecting the organization's ongoing commitment to philanthropy
and community engagement. This year, the Deluxe Corporation
Foundation awarded more than $1 million to various organizations
that align with its core focus areas: Community, Financial
Literacy, Education, Entrepreneurship, and Empowerment.
“At Deluxe, we place a high value on supporting initiatives that
align with our areas of focus, where we believe we can make the
most significant impact,” says Barry C. McCarthy, President and CEO
at Deluxe. “This year, we have continued to concentrate our efforts
on financial literacy and entrepreneurship, while expanding our
relationship with organizations like the American Red Cross. We are
thrilled to partner with organizations that share our vision and
offer opportunities for our employees to get involved, whether
through volunteer work, board memberships, or other forms of
support.”
Deluxe prides itself on “championing business so communities
thrive,” a philosophy which is extended through its philanthropic
efforts. The Deluxe Foundation's strategic focus includes
significant contributions to Minneapolis-St. Paul, Kansas City, and
Atlanta—cities where Deluxe has a substantial employee presence.
These partnerships reflect a commitment to fostering thriving
communities and creating opportunities for economic empowerment and
education.
Among the organizations receiving grants in 2024 are:
- American Red Cross
- National Urban League
- Metropolitan Economic Development Association (MEDA)
- National Center for Civil and Human Rights
- Junior Achievement
- Special Olympics Minnesota
- Meals From the Heart
- Youth Frontiers
- Neighborhood Forest
Each of these organizations fits within one of the Deluxe
Foundation's focus areas and provides meaningful opportunities for
Deluxe employees to engage and contribute to their missions. The
Foundation's approach of granting larger amounts to fewer
organizations allows for deeper, more impactful partnerships.
As Deluxe continues to grow and evolve, its Foundation remains
dedicated to leveraging its resources and employee talents to make
a positive difference in the communities it serves. The 2024 grant
allocations underscore this commitment and set the stage for
continued community support and engagement in the years to
come.
