Employee Resource Group (ERG) Grants

In 2024, the Deluxe Foundation introduced a new grant strategy to foster diverse and inclusive environments by harnessing the collective power of employee resource groups (ERGs) to create authentic, community-led impact. Each of Deluxe’s 8 ERGs will identify and establish relationships with nonprofit organizations working on social issues relevant to their communities. Their insight into specific issues can ensure that grant funding is directed to deserving initiatives that are meaningful to ERG members, employees and the commuities in which we live and work. Employee resource groups are voluntary, employee-led groups brought together by a common interest, membership in a protected class, or shared experience. Currently, Deluxe has 8 ERGs:
 
  • African-American
  • AVID (Awareness for Visible & Invisible Disabilities
  • Hispanic
  • Parents
 
  • PIMA (Pacific Islander Middle-Eastern Asian)
  • Pride+
  • Veterans
  • Women
