We provide charitable contributions in support of a diverse array of causes and initiatives, and encourage employee involvement and leadership in civic and community affairs.

Due to the volume of requests we receive, we have developed the following guidelines to help us better guide our decision-making process:

We prefer to fund:

• Programs that are in our four priority areas of environment, health & safety, education and economic development


• Programs, projects or services that reach consumers with direct benefits


• Single year efforts as opposed to multi-year commitments

We generally do not fund requests that benefit:

• Individuals, with the exception of company-sponsored scholarship programs


• Private foundations and endowment funds


• Organizations that practice discrimination based on age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disabilities, race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry


• Sectarian or denominational religious organizations, except for programs which are broadly promoted, available to anyone and free from religious orientation


• Political parties, candidates or partisan political organizations

We generally do not fund requests for the following types of programs:

• General operating expenses


• Travel expenses


• Loans or loan guarantees


• Debt reduction or past operating deficits


• Liquidation of an organization
