About Our Partners

The Foundation's Communities Program is built upon partnerships with newspapers, television and radio stations, and sports organizations around the U.S.

These program partners raise funds in their local communities in a number of ways. Newspapers support in-paper campaigns to raise money from readers. Broadcast stations and sports teams conduct special events.

The McCormick Foundation matches contributions at 50% and work with our partners on fundraising and grantmaking strategies.

Local Focus

The Communities Program is uniquely designed to take advantage of our partners' special relationships with their readers, listeners, viewers and fans. Because of their high profile and broad impact in their communities, program partners can be very successful in raising public awareness, and dollars, in support of important local issues. The matching dollars provided by the foundation further increase the impact of local giving.

Although the Foundation's Board of Directors retains final approval of all fund guidelines and all grants, the Communities Program works with its partners to determine local grantmaking priorities and community needs.
