Employee Grants
The Columbia Foundation awards grants through three internal programs that respond to the needs of Columbia Country Club’s most valued resource – its employees.
The Employee Assistance Fund supports those facing financial hardship, including covering emergency medical needs, housing relief, utilities payments, grocery subsidies, and more.
The Education Assistance Initiative supports Columbia employees as they pursue educational opportunities such as ESL classes, career enrichment and college degrees.
The Employee Family Scholarship Fund supports the educational ambitions of Columbia employees’ immediate spouses and dependents. This program is set to launch in January 2025 – more details coming soon!
