Corporate Giving

For more than 40 years, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. has believed in the importance of reinvesting in our communities and contributing to corporate and social responsibilities. We hope to encourage leadership and advancement in the welfare of our youth, improve health through education and clinical research, protect our animals and environment, and foster respect for all citizens by improving our community through the combined efforts of our actions and advocating programs.

We are proud to be associated with our chosen organizations and eagerly anticipate the positive impacts our contributions have on a local and national level. 

All requests and proposals for funding are accepted in December for consideration the following calendar year. Our funds are limited in relation to the great number of worthwhile proposals we receive. In order to facilitate a request for a donation or program-related investment, please follow the directions to submit a request, after reading our eligibility criteria, so we may determine whether J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.’s current focus and funds permit consideration of the request.
