For the third year, the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation completed its Local Impact Grant Program, Newell’s signature philanthropic giving program which puts the power of giving in the hands of our employees.
Each year, employees in select locations are invited to participate in the program by nominating and voting for nonprofits that are near and dear to their hearts. Nominated nonprofits must meet certain eligibility criteria to qualify for a grant, including having a mission that aligns with one or more of our giving pillars: Child Safety & Development, Education, Hunger, Outdoor & the Environment and Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging. The program enables us to make an impact in our local communities and support the organizations that are meaningful to our employees.
After a thorough and thoughtful review process, the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation is pleased to share this year’s Local Impact Grant Program recipients, chosen by employees in eight U.S. locations.
