Freeport-McMoRan Foundation
Summary
The Freeport-McMoRan Foundation supports organizations involved with arts and culture, education, the environment, health, mental health, crime and violence prevention, employment, nutrition, housing, safety, recreation, human services, community development, science, civic affairs, and economically disadvantaged people.
The Foundation has identified the following area(s) of interest:
- Community Investment Fund (CIF) - Through Community Investment Funds, group-wide guiding philosophy for its community development activities is Transforming Tomorrow Together. This philosophy drives implementation of a social impact framework that includes priorities, strategies and goals that allow us to work collaboratively with communities to make transformative change and increase overall individual/ community opportunity, wellbeing and capacity. Our framework or approach for delivering on our guiding philosophy of Transforming Tomorrow Together is based on three main priority areas that we believe help deliver on our commitment: Education and Workforce Development, Economic Opportunity, Capacity and Leadership. CIFs are limited to Bagdad, Claypool, Globe, Graham County, Greenlee County, Green Valley, Miami, and Sahuarita AZ, Clear Creek, Climax Area, Grand, Lake, Summit, Chaffee and Eagle CO, Grant County, NM, Ft. Madison and Keokuk IA, and El Paso TX.
- Mini-Grants for Education - Mini-Grants for Education are designed to support K-12 teachers and schools in communities where Freeport-McMoRan has an operational presence. Supporting projects in the following categories: Environment, Mining, mineral and natural resources, Reading and literacy, STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
- Native American Partnership Fund - The foundation supports education, open communication, community / social projects and other initiatives in collaboration with Tribal Nations located near Freeport-McMoRan's active or discontinued operations. Here are some of the opportunities available for our Partnership Tribes, or those with which we have a direct relationship.
- Women's Development Program - The foundation is investing in efforts that increase education and economic opportunities for citizens in our operating communities. In particular, we want to ensure that women have suitable, relevant, functional opportunities to be full participants in economic development and attain greater levels of prosperity. When women gain skills, they gain confidence, increase their productivity, mentor others, raise their income levels and reinvest in their children's education, their family's health, and economic activities at the community level.
