DOW
MIDLAND, Mich. - December 9, 2024 - Today, Dow (NYSE: DOW) announced nine projects that will be supported through its 2024 Business Impact Fund. This annual fund, now in its ninth year, brings together NGOs, nonprofit organizations, Dow customers, and employees to help solve social or sustainability challenges within Dow communities around the world via creative, scalable solutions.
"A thriving community is a shared future," said Bob Plishka, global director of Strategic Corporate Partnerships and Dow Company Foundation president. "That's why, through the Business Impact Fund, we catalyze the immense passion of our people, and our technical expertise and resources alongside that of diverse partners to address issues like food waste, insufficient or unstable housing, and circularity. We see it as both our responsibility and privilege to help build healthy, safe and sustainable communities."
Two of this year's nine projects are a part of a new pilot program where projects from previous years are given additional funding via continuity grants. These grants will allow Dow and partners on the ground to continue to build upon the work already done to create even deeper positive impacts.
