SUNDT FOUNDATION
Giving back to our communities for over 25 years.
Since its founding in 1999, the Sundt Foundation has reflected our employee-owners’ passion for giving back to the places where we live and work. Each year, the foundation awards over $1 million in grants to a diverse array of charitable organizations across the United States. Read more about how we brought prosperity to our communities in the 2023 Sundt Foundation Impact report here.
GIVING BACK THROUGH QUARTERLY GRANTS
The Sundt Foundation is 50-percent funded by contributions from Sundt employee-owners. Every dollar is matched by the company and then distributed through quarterly grants to qualified 501c3 nonprofits in our eleven giving areas: Tempe/Phoenix, Tucson, El Paso, North Texas, Central Texas, Sacramento, Irvine, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Charlotte, Florida and the Pacific Northwest. Local committees of employee-owners decide which organizations to fund in each of our giving areas, ensuring we support causes they feel most passionate about. The Foundation considers a broad range of social issues but gives special focus to under-served children and teens, domestic violence victims, and military veterans and their families. The deadlines to apply for grants are March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15.
DISASTER RELIEF DONATIONS to rebuild our communities
Every so often, our communities face grave challenges from unforeseen events such as hurricanes, wildfires or the COVID-19 pandemic. To help our neighbors in need, the Sundt Foundation gives emergency and disaster relief grants on a discretionary basis to organizations at the front lines of these crises. In May 2020 as families struggled with the immediate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sundt Foundation distributed $200,000 across all of our giving areas to support community food banks, domestic violence shelters and front-line healthcare workers. After the mass shooting in El Paso in 2019, the Foundation gave $10,000 to a victims fund. These funds as well as our employee-owners’ individual volunteer efforts have made a tremendous impact to protect, nourish, heal and rebuild several communities.
TEEING UP COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS
Since 2001, the Sundt Foundation has hosted a suite of sporting competitions to raise money for worthy causes. Beginning with events held in the Southwest as a tribute to Mike Gaines, a member of the Sundt family for two decades before losing his life to ALS, the tournaments and events raised over $2.2 million for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Today, we host annual Sundt Foundation Charity Golf Tournaments across six regions, raising money for a variety of nonprofit organizations serving the communities where we live and work.
