The Newell Brands Charitable Foundation (NBCF) has completed its fourth annual Local Impact Grant Program (LIGP), our signature philanthropic program that puts the power of giving in the hands of Newell Brands employees.

Every year, employees in select locations are encouraged to nominate and vote for nonprofits doing important work in their local communities. Nominated organizations must meet certain eligibility criteria to be considered 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.

LIGP provides us with the unique opportunity to celebrate our employees’ passions while making an impact in the communities where we operate.
