About the Blue Foundation

The Blue Foundation was created in January 2020 by employees at Blue with the simple purpose of making a positive and meaningful impact in our local communities.

Today, the Blue Foundation gives our employees a platform to unite and act within their communities, allowing us to truly live our values of being responsive and caring advocates.

Typical grant requests are submitted by employees on a monthly basis. One of the unique aspects to our foundation is that employees can designate if funding requests are emergent or not. Emergency requests are reviewed and granted within 48 business hours. This classification allows the Blue Foundation to deploy grants to organizations and community members faster and more efficiently than standard government organizations.

This turnaround can make all the difference when it comes to helping in an emergency situation and we are proud to be able to help our local communities in this way.

How Does the Blue Foundation Work?

The Blue Foundation has three different programs for consideration of internal grant applications:

  • Individual Needs Program – assisting persons or individuals in need during a difficult time/situation
  • Partnership Path Program – working with other nonprofit organizations or groups of individuals in providing support for a larger cause
  • Foundation Projects Program – providing in-need students with scholarship dollars to aid in furthering their education

These varying programs allow us to be intentional in the grants we are providing; some meeting and solving short-term problems while others are supporting larger, more long-term causes.

All grant requests are sponsored and submitted by Blue & Co. employees, making it a true employee resource.
