At Newell Brands, our commitment to community doesn’t end with a single moment or milestone. It’s an ongoing effort rooted in the places where our employees live and work. Through our Local Impact Grant Program, employees nominate and vote for nonprofit organizations making a meaningful difference in their local communities, helping ensure our philanthropy reflects the causes closest to home.
Earlier this year, the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation was proud to invest $175,000 in 15 nonprofit partners across the United States through the 2025 Local Impact Grant Program. These organizations are advancing critical work across our core focus areas of Child Safety & Development, Education, Home, Health & Hunger, and Outdoor & the Environment, and continue to deliver meaningful impact well beyond the initial grant period.
