Overview

The Burlington Capital Foundation seeks to apply its parent company’s investment philosophy to investing in organizations whose efforts have direct and clear game-changing effects on people and their communities. Our main areas of focus are Military/Veteran, Senior Community, Education, and Arts support.  We’ve made the choice to focus our gifts in Nebraska and Iowa; however, grants to national organizations are considered if they impact these specific geographic areas.  Additionally, employees of Burlington Capital are encouraged to apply even if their organization is outside of this region as it is our goal to assist our employees’ communities across the nation. How often do you meet for grant review? The Foundation Committee meets the third Thursday of March, June, September, and December. When are the deadlines?
