United Way and workplace giving

In 2008, ExxonMobil, together with its current and retired employees, donated more than $24.7 million through company-sponsored workplace giving campaigns in the United States, Canada, and other countries.  In addition to United Way corporate gifts in the United States totaling $4.9 million, employees and retirees pledged more than $14.3 million to the United Way.  In Fairfax, Virginia, ExxonMobil and its employees donated more than $2.4 million to more than 400 charitable organizations through our Employee’s Favorite Charity Campaign.  Canadian employees and retirees pledged more than $2.2 million to the United Way, bringing the total corporate and employee donations in Canada to more than $3.3 million.

Our commitment to the United Way extends well beyond financial support.  ExxonMobil employees and retirees annually participate in United Way “Day of Caring” volunteer events in many of the communities in which we operate.  As a result of becoming involved with these organizations, many ExxonMobil participants now provide year-round volunteer support to United Way agencies.  In addition, ExxonMobil employees and retirees serve on committees to help formulate strategies for community programs and provide time and expertise to help manage fundraising campaigns.
