CSX Pride in Service grants are designed to honor and support national and local heroes, including veterans, active military members, and first responders. These grants aim to provide financial support to organizations that serve these communities, enhancing their well-being and acknowledging their sacrifices. Eligible organizations must have tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, be a government entity at the state, county, or municipal level, or be an educational institution ranging from pre-K to college/university. The grants are intended for projects within CSX’s service network that do not involve telephone/mail solicitations, are not affiliated with unregistered religious organizations, do not discriminate, and are not associated with political candidates, lobbying organizations, or anti-business groups.
