We offer monetary and in-kind resources to nonprofit organizations advocating for the betterment of our nation’s military members or community first responders, and have additional resources available to support other community efforts.

In Kind Donations

Intermodal Transportation Services

Intermodal transportation services provide applicable organizations with intermodal equipment and rail service throughout the CSX rail network, and afford these organizations an opportunity to reduce or eliminate their transportation spending.

Ideally, intermodal moves work best when freight is moving 500 miles or more. However, the in-kind moves program requires only that freight have an origin and destination within a combined 250 miles’ distance to a CSX intermodal facility.

CSX’s door-to-door product is an ideal solution for the in-kind moves program, as our trained team will pick up your freight at its origin and transport it to a terminal to be placed on an intermodal train. Then, we will pick up your freight at the destination terminal and deliver it directly to its endpoint. The door-to-door network provides service across the Eastern United States with its large nationwide network and trucking capability.

CSX will also work with you to determine the type of equipment that is an ideal fit to transport your freight. CSX has a large fleet of rail-owned containers, as well as an expansive network of channel partners that can provide equipment to fit your needs.

Railroad Equipment and Materials

CSX occasionally donates materials, supplies and used railroad equipment based on availability. The online in-kind application can be used to request the donation of railroad-related items, including retired rail cars when available. Please note that rail, rail ties and spikes are not available for donation or purchase. Applicants will be contacted if the requested item becomes available within 90 days of their online submittal. At that time, arrangements will be made to transfer possession of the requested item. All applicants will be asked to re-submit their application at a later date if the requested item does not become available within the 90-day period.

Background

The Citi Foundation’s Global Innovation Challenge is an open call for applications or request for proposals (RFP) designed to provide catalytic grant funding to community organizations across the world. This year, the Foundation invites proposals from community organizations developing innovative employment solutions for low-income youth primarily between the ages of 15 and 24.

Funding Overview

Despite recent progress, young people globally continue to experience challenges in their pursuit of employment, including skills mismatch and gaining access to quality jobs. According to the International Labour Organization, 65 million young people globally are unemployed. Since the Citi Foundation’s inception, advancing youth employability has been integral to our mission of supporting low-income communities globally. The Citi Foundation invested more than $300 million over the last decade alone in programs that supported over one million young people in expanding their skills, experience and networks through its Pathways to Progress initiative. Building on our funding journey, this year’s Global Innovation Challenge is focused on youth employability, and we invite proposals from community organizations developing innovative employment solutions for low-income youth primarily between the ages of 15 and 24

These innovative solutions could include, but are not limited to:

• Technical and vocational training programs that upskill or reskill low-income youth and move them into employment, which could include paid internships, apprenticeships or formal employment.
• Entrepreneurship programming that specifically focuses on the incubation or scaling of youth-led enterprises to increase job creation and access to selfgenerated income.
• Efforts to embed financial education programming into workforce development initiatives equipping low-income youth with financial skills and access to safe and affordable financials tools. 

The Hobbs Foundation focuses its investments in programs that encourage a path to academic achievement, family stability, economic security, and personal fulfillment. We identify high-performing organizations that are expansion capable, initiate innovative strategies, and demonstrate a rigorous approach to outcome evaluation and organizational capacity. Hobbs Foundation grantees and community partners exhibit high-impact responsiveness directed by a comprehensive understanding of the instruments of poverty and instability for children and families in Florida.

These organizations have the capacity to address the specific psychological, emotional and developmental needs of children who have experienced childhood instability and insecurity. Support organizations that employ evidence-based therapeutic interventions in addressing the affects of stressors that can inhibit executive cognitive function, intellectual development, coping strategies, and maintaining positive interpersonal relationships.

Child Welfare and Foster Care

Support for organizations that implement evidence-based therapeutic interventions in addressing the specific needs of children who have experienced childhood psychological stress due to neglect, abuse, and abandonment. Programs seek to implement effective strategies in facilitating permanent placement with a personal commitment to children living in out-of-home care.

Intervention in the reduction of negative outcomes for children and youth with family instability, psychological stress, and lack of positive adult role models; poverty and dependency, unemployment, incarceration, unstable living situations, relationships and family life, economic immobility, homelessness and socio-emotional difficulties. 

Education and Positive Mentorship

Increase support for organizations that demonstrate a critical understanding of their role in fostering long-term impact toward economic and social prosperity, addressing not only financial limitations to opportunity, but the socio-cultural mechanisms at the source of generational poverty and uncertainty for children and families. These organizations display personal commitment to the development of children and youth that reinforces positive attitudes about the importance of individual purpose and civic responsibility.

Improving Veteran Mental Health

Across the United States, veterans face an elevated risk of homelessness relative to the general population. On any given night, an estimated 40,000 veterans go without shelter, and another 1.5 million veterans are considered at-risk of homelessness.1 Research shows that veterans experiencing housing instability are at an increased risk of mental distress disorders.

We seek to collaborate with and support nonprofit organizations that leverage evidence-informed programs and services to help local veterans feel stable where they live and ultimately create positive impact on their mental health. Nonprofit partners must align to at least one of these grant program goals:

• Increase permanent housing available for veterans.
• Improve affordability for housing for veterans through rental or mortgage assistance.
• Enhance the offering of wraparound services for veterans transitioning from shelters.
