Solid Cactus®, an award-winning web design company and total
e-commerce solutions provider, announced its 3rd quarter donations to worthy area organizations from its “Solid Cactus Cares” fund administered by the Luzerne Foundation. Twelve organizations will be the recipients of cash grants, website construction or in-kind print design services from Solid Cactus for a total value of $8,400.
“Solid Cactus team members are the driving force behind the Solid Cactus Cares program,” said president and co-founder Scott Sanfilippo. “Our people contribute to the charitable fund by holding in-house fundraisers and by payroll deduction.”
“Unlike most grantmakers, we don’t accept applications for grants. All organizations must be sponsored by an employee. Our employees have a diverse background and each brings their unique perspective to where need exists in the community. They nominate, rally support, and vote for the organizations they feel deserve grants,” added Sanfilippo.

- Association of Fundraising Professionals Philanthropy Day – $500
