A message from Beth Stellato, Chief Communications Officer and Head of the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation

As a global business with operations in over 40 countries, we have a responsibility to give back to the communities in which we operate. Through the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation, product donations and the generosity of our employees, we strive to make a difference in our communities locally and globally.

The Newell Brands Charitable Foundation provides monetary support to our nonprofit partners primarily through two strategic programs that engage our employees in giving back: our Local Impact Grant Program, launched in 2019, and our Matching Gift Program, launched in 2021.

Our Local Impact Grant Program enables employees in select locations the opportunity to nominate and vote on local nonprofits to receive a grant from the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation. Through this program, we aim to invest $1 million in the communities in which we operate by 2025. Our Matching Gift Program, which launches annually on Giving Tuesday, matches employee donations throughout the year to Save the Children and No Kid Hungry dollar for dollar up to $25,000 per nonprofit.

We augment our support through volunteer opportunities and product donations, as well as providing education to our employees on the important work these organizations are doing.

I’m inspired by our strong partnerships and our employees’ commitment to bettering our communities locally and globally.

Sincerely,

Beth Stellato
