Starting the new year with amazing news! We’re honored to announce that Community Renewal has been named a 2025 Chick-fil-A True Inspiration Awards grant recipient, receiving $50,000 to strengthen our work in building stronger, safer communities! Huge thanks to Mr. Brian Russell and the incredible team at Chick-fil-A Youree Drive for their support and nomination.
CRI is one of 56 True Inspiration Awards grant recipients in 2025 that are receiving a collective $6 million from Chick-fil-A, Inc. To be selected, an organization must work to address a pressing issue in their community that aligns with one of Chick-fil-A’s corporate social responsibility priorities: Caring for People, Caring for Others through Food, Caring for Our Communities and Caring for our Planet.
The True Inspiration Awards were established in 2015 to carry on Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy’s legacy of generosity and community service. In these past ten years, 357 grants ranging from $30,000 to $350,000, have been distributed to organizations located across the U.S. as well as Puerto Rico, Canada and the U.K.
“Chick-fil-A is honored to invest in the impactful work of these incredible organizations that are creating meaningful change in their local communities,” said Brent Fielder, Vice President of Global Impact for Chick-fil-A, Inc. “From fighting hunger and providing educational opportunities to fostering environmental stewardship, these nonprofits are shining examples of what it means to care for others and have a positive influence on the world. We are inspired by their work and grateful to partner with them on this journey.”
