ExxonMobil Employee Charities Program Sets New Record for Contributions with More Than $2.8 Million Raised for Washington, D.C. Area Organizations
Employees of ExxonMobil′s Fairfax, Virginia campus raised more than $2.8
million for local community and charitable organizations in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area during the 2011 Employees′ Favorite
Charities Campaign. This amount establishes a new record for the
campaign, eclipsing last year′s amount of $2.7 million. Since its
inception in 2002, the campaign has raised nearly $21 million for
charitable organizations in the Washington, D.C. area.
This year, employees contributed to 555 charities with nearly half
qualifying for ExxonMobil′s charitable matching program. As a result,
243 local non-profit organizations providing health and human services
will receive contributions from the Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM)
in addition to the individual contributions made by employees.
'This is a significant achievement, especially in these challenging
economic times when funding for many worthy organizations has declined
while demand for their services has increased,? said Karen T. McKee,
chair of ExxonMobil′s Fairfax campus′ 2011 Employees′ Favorite Charities
Campaign. 'Once again, our employees have continued their proud
tradition of giving in the communities where we live and work.?
ExxonMobil has a long history of supporting community groups and
educational organizations in the greater Washington, D.C. area, not only
through financial contributions and grants, but also through the time
and dedication of thousands of employees and retirees who volunteer for
various organizations across the region.
