2022 Motz Community Impact Fund Recipients

Moving People to Better Lives

We started a 100% employee-funded grant program in 2016 in order to support the important missions of charities, non-profit organizations, and schools across the country. The Community Impact Fund consists solely of pledged monthly donations from our employees who select the grant recipients from a pool of national applicants at the end of each year. 

Thanks to the continued support of our employees to this program, this year we were able to award 10 grants, with each winner awarded a $1,000 grant through this effort. We’re proud of our team for continuing this legacy of moving people to better lives.
