We partner to build the foundation of education, community and technology for the future with like-minded individuals and determined to do more good.

Founded on the tenets of community and giving, Cross River is always looking for new ways to create opportunities to shape a better tomorrow. While our commitment to others began the day we opened our doors, our work connecting and supporting communities is just beginning.

While all submissions from registered 501(c)(3) organizations that support community needs will be considered, Foundation@ Cross River 1 encourages applications that focus on, but are not limited to, organizations that support these four strategic community focus areas:

  • Education for the Future:
    Supporting organizations that empower the greater community and educate the next generation of learners by providing varying educational opportunities including scholarships, financial literacy initiatives, mentorship programs, and practical tools for success.
  • Health and Human Services:
    Supporting organizations that promote community wellness and provide support in the physical and/or mental health arenas. Special consideration will be placed on initiatives that utilize technology to improve the public’s health.
  • Economic Development and Community Enrichment:
    Supporting organizations that provide opportunities through workforce development, job creation, career advancement, and small business growth. Special consideration will be placed on initiatives serving under-recognized and underserved low-to-moderate-income (LMI) neighborhoods to help families and communities revitalize and achieve stability.
  • Advancement Through Technology:
    Supporting organizations that utilize technology to improve everyday life, better the current workforce and workplace, and develop training opportunities to effectively implement these skillsets.
