Fourteen non-profit agencies benefit from MGM’s employee-driven 2025 Community Grants Program
BILOXI, MISS. (August 21, 2025) – The employee-driven grant fund at Beau Rivage reached more than $182,000 in 2025, providing financial resources to 14 local non-profit organizations in South Mississippi. These contributions, driven by Beau Rivage employees and guests through the Corporate Responsibility’s community grant funds and the Company Match program, have supported initiatives addressing critical areas such as food insecurity, public education, and workforce development.
Each organization plays its own part in creating a healthy community, as each nonprofit has its own specific mission and project the grant will support.
Beau Rivage’s Community Grant Committee, a volunteer group of employees, determined which local nonprofit agencies would receive funding. Awards are made through a structured grant submission and review process.
Agencies interested in applying for grants from MGM Resorts Foundation may visit www.mgmresorts.com/en/company/foundation.html to review eligibility criteria and begin the online grant application process. Nonprofits are required to provide support for a Community Grant Fund focus area, and operations must be in existence for a minimum of 36 months to be considered.
