The company’s United Way campaign starts today with the theme UNITED is the WAY – a nod to how our Freeport team comes together to give hope, lend a hand and make a difference in our communities.
Each year, our United Way campaign provides employees with an opportunity to help those in greatest need. You can donate online now through November 22.
"United Way works by addressing the underlying causes of issues, including closing gaps and opening opportunities in the areas of education, health and economic mobility, so everyone can thrive,” said Richard Adkerson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, in an email to employees.
Your gift makes it possible for nonprofit organizations to provide 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.
Angel Days – Donate ½ percent or more of salary and receive paid-time off (eligibility criteria applies).
Continuous Giving – Become a Continuous Giver and your donation automatically renews each year.
Campaign Prizes – Donate at least $25 to have your name entered in various campaign prize drawings.
