James M. Cox Foundation
Grounded in the values of our founder, the James M. Cox Foundation has a rich history of giving back to the communities where Cox does business. Chaired by Jim Kennedy, chairman emeritus of Cox Enterprises, the Foundation directs its support to capital campaigns including building construction and renovations, and special projects including program expansions and capacity-building efforts.
Giving back to the communities where we do business has always been important. The Foundation and our businesses work together to find ways to help people and these communities.
