(November 2, 2022) The company's United Way campaign starts today with a new theme – UNITED is the WAY.
This play on words recognizes how we come together as one Freeport to give hope, lend a hand and make a difference in our communities. Our annual campaign is an opportunity to help those in greatest need.
"Through the years, our campaign has remained one of our most important charitable commitments. That's because of the important community work United Way does to address pressing issues and create long-lasting change in areas that matter to all of us – health, education and economic mobility," said Richard Adkerson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, in an email to employees.
You can donate online now through November 23. Your gift helps to ensure financial resources are available for critical programs and services that make our communities stronger.
Some key features of the company's campaign include:
- Easy Donation – Select up to three eligible 501(c)(3) agencies to receive your gift and your preferred giving method of a recurring payroll deduction or one-time contribution.
- United Way Match – For donations of $25 or more, the Freeport-McMoRan Foundation will double match the first $1,000 contributed and single match any amount more than $1,000 (up to an annual maximum of $40,000) – making your donation go even further. The company match is directed to your local United Way or equivalent if there is not one in your community.
