In January of 2016, Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC, responsible for the management and operations of the Pantex Plant, announced an employee-directed grant program. The CNS Pantex Community Investment Fund is a component fund of the Amarillo Area Foundation and the competitive grant program was developed as a part of CNS’ commitment to Amarillo and the surrounding areas. The Pantex Community Investment Advisory Committee is comprised of CNS employees.  The committee reviews grant applications and makes funding recommendations to the Amarillo Area Foundation board of directors. In the inaugural year, almost $300,000 was distributed from the CNS Pantex Community Investment Fund.
