RED RIVER CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

We created the Red River Charitable Foundation (RRCF) in an effort to build impactful connections with students, veterans and communities in need.

RRCF focuses on making a lasting impact on individuals and communities. We believe in contributing both time and money to form long-term relationships that yield long-term results. We lean on our employees to expand our reach into the community, while maintaining our focus on students and veterans.

How Do We Fund Our Programs?

Since 2006, the RRCF Annual Golf Tournament has been our largest yearly fundraiser and an exceptional community event to celebrate our accomplishments, our partners and the community at large.

Our second largest fundraiser showcases the generosity and talents of our employees to raise funds for our community programs. Employees, as well as their friends and families, have a week to bid on donated items, from football tickets to handmade jewelry.

Red River offers a payroll deduction program where employees can choose an RRCF program to support. In addition to supporting our programs, PTC allows RRCF to act quickly and timely in times of natural disasters or unexpected crises.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

We believe collaboration amplifies our efforts and exponentially expands our impact. Our partners are supporters, ambassadors, friends, beneficiaries, leaders: they are an inspiration for the kind of giving and dedication we work toward every day.
