Alcoa Foundation
Alcoa Foundation is a global resource that actively invests in the quality of life in Alcoa communities worldwide. With more than $437 million invested since our inception in 1952, Alcoa Foundation has positioned itself as a source for positive community change and impact.
Alcoa Foundation is now combining its legacy and strengths with the global reach, values and corporate social responsibility of Alcoa to produce new levels of impact. Areas of Excellence guide our global and local grantmaking and marshal the expertise and energies of Alcoa and Alcoa Foundation together.
In 2006, Alcoa Foundation awarded more than $26 million in grants in 215 communities around the world. Through disaster relief grants and employee engagement initiatives like ACTION and Bravo!, and the Worldwide Month of Service additional resources are made available to our communities. Alcoa Foundation also supports a range of national, international and policy organizations that underscore our key interests and Areas of Excellence.
We give priority consideration to programs and organizations in or near communities where Alcoa plants or offices are located. Organizations interested in applying for a grant, should contact the Alcoa facility nearest them. Local Foundation contacts in our communities will then make recommendations to Alcoa Foundation for grant awards.
In Australia, the Alcoa Foundation strengthens the capacities of individuals and communities by providing skills, expertise and financial support for local communities. Alcoa employees who volunteer provide direct benefit to community organisations, but also assist develop the by-products of volunteering - such as friendship, belonging, tolerance and trust amongst members of the group and the wider community.
