Deluxe, a trusted Payments and Data company, is pleased to announce its Foundation’s grant awards for the year 2024, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to philanthropy and community engagement. This year, the Deluxe Corporation Foundation awarded more than $1 million to various organizations that align with its core focus areas: Community, Financial Literacy, Education, Entrepreneurship, and Empowerment.

“At Deluxe, we place a high value on supporting initiatives that align with our areas of focus, where we believe we can make the most significant impact,” says Barry C. McCarthy, President and CEO at Deluxe. “This year, we have continued to concentrate our efforts on financial literacy and entrepreneurship, while expanding our relationship with organizations like the American Red Cross. We are thrilled to partner with organizations that share our vision and offer opportunities for our employees to get involved, whether through volunteer work, board memberships, or other forms of support.”

Deluxe prides itself on “championing business so communities thrive,” a philosophy which is extended through its philanthropic efforts. The Deluxe Foundation’s strategic focus includes significant contributions to Minneapolis-St. Paul, Kansas City, and Atlanta—cities where Deluxe has a substantial employee presence. These partnerships reflect a commitment to fostering thriving communities and creating opportunities for economic empowerment and education.

Among the organizations receiving grants in 2024 are:

  • American Red Cross

  • National Urban League

  • Metropolitan Economic Development Association (MEDA)

  • National Center for Civil and Human Rights

  • Junior Achievement

  • Special Olympics Minnesota

  • Meals From the Heart

  • Youth Frontiers

  • Neighborhood Forest

Each of these organizations fits within one of the Deluxe Foundation’s focus areas and provides meaningful opportunities for Deluxe employees to engage and contribute to their missions. The Foundation’s approach of granting larger amounts to fewer organizations allows for deeper, more impactful partnerships.

As Deluxe continues to grow and evolve, its Foundation remains dedicated to leveraging its resources and employee talents to make a positive difference in the communities it serves. The 2024 grant allocations underscore this commitment and set the stage for continued community support and engagement in the years to come.
