Crown Holdings 2022 Sustainability Report: Crown Charitable Giving
Originally published in Crown Holding's 2022 Corporate Responsibility Report
In addition to getting out into the field and rolling up our sleeves for volunteer efforts, our teams stay connected with the organizations aiming to do good in their areas and that can benefit from additional support. To help move their missions forward, we created our Twentyby30TM Charitable Giving program, which provides funding for specific philanthropic projects, resources or initiatives. Each year, the program aims to donate a total of $1 million across several employee-nominated organizations.
Recent recipients of Twentyby30TMCharitable Giving donations include:
Ashlie’s Embrace, a non-profit organization that provides Cuddle CotTM cooling units to medical facilities across the U.S. to help support families experiencing stillbirth or infant loss. As a corporate donor, we helped ensure more Cuddle CotTM systems are placed in hospitals around the country.
Albergue Del Padre Pío, A.C., a non-profit civil association located in El Salto, Jalisco, Mexico that works to defend the rights of children experiencing physical and emotional violence. Our contribution will help improve the facilities and provide supplies for the children to enhance their quality of life.
Pertubuhan Kebajikan Nur Ain Bangi Selangor, a shelter located in Bangi, Malaysia that provides accommodations and education for orphaned children. Our donation allowed the shelter to renovate its leisure area with a playground and sunshield awning, as well as to purchase basic amenities such as beds, air conditioners, lockers and adequate refrigeration equipment for food storage.
Canine Companions, a national non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained service dogs and ongoing support. Our donation supported the purchase of a vehicle that allows instructors to safely transport dogs to public spaces for behavioral assessment. It will also be used by the development department and graduate services for community awareness, fundraising events and in-person graduate follow-up services.
CliniClowns, a charity organization based in the Netherlands that provides hospital visits with contact and full attention to children who are sick, children with disabilities and people living with dementia. Our support has helped propel CliniClowns’ mission to provide moments that make children and people with dementia feel more positive and experience a decrease in anxiety.
Seal Rescue Ireland (SRI), the only seal rescue center within the Republic of Ireland that works around the clock to rescue, rehabilitate and release native seals found sick, injured or orphaned. Our funding enabled the implementation of a rehabilitation pool for SRI’s continued conservation efforts.
