Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: QTWO), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for banking and lending, today announced its second Q2 Philanthropy Fund grant application cycle, which will award $120,000 in grants to non-profits across the globe to further its mission of building strong and diverse communities. The initiative is led in partnership with Austin Community Foundation (ACF), a grantmaking public charity, to make it easier and more accessible for non-profit organizations to apply for grants from Q2.

“We are excited to kick off the second grant cycle of the Q2 Philanthropy Fund and look forward to helping non-profits around the globe increase their positive impact and further their mission,” said Kim Rutledge, Chief People Officer, Q2. “Our goal is to ignite a community of philanthropists and empower our people to help build strong and diverse communities. To this end, the grant recipients are selected by a committee of Q2 employees from across our organization and geographies.”

ACF is a grantmaking public charity dedicated to improving people's lives in a specific region and beyond. ACF helps support Q2’s process of managing grant requests to ensure greater access to grant funding through a transparent, rigorous, and equitable process. They also serve as a connector across a robust network of philanthropic organizations, community leaders, and fellow philanthropists, allowing Q2’s efforts to benefit more people and communities.

Non-profits are encouraged to apply for a grant through the Q2 Philanthropy Fund. The deadline to apply is August 4, 2023. To be considered eligible, an organization must: have tax-exempt status under Sections 501(c)(3) or 170(b)(1)(a)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code and units of government or have a 501(c)(3) Fiscal Sponsor.
