Positive Change

Our work, and really everyone’s work, requires long-term vision, long-term commitment, and long-term relationships. Sure, our grants have an “end date.” But if we are doing our job well as philanthropists, our grants will carry on, having an impact long after the dollars are spent.

CSX values giving back to communities where we operate – but we know we can’t do it alone. We work with several groups, including The Conservation Fund, to bring our shared visions to life. As Jena Thompson Meredith, The Conservation Fund’s Vice President of Business Partnerships, recently said, “With each partnership, we demonstrate that smart, collaborative conservation can drive responsible economic development that’s good for the environment and good for people… When you can harness this for good, it’s incredible and catching.”
