The St. Charles Community College Foundation received a $10,000 grant from the UPS Foundation, which drives global corporate citizenship and philanthropic programs for UPS. The grant will support diversity and inclusion initiatives at St. Charles Community College.

“The generous donation from UPS is greatly appreciated. It will help advance SCC’s Diversity and Inclusion Plan initiatives with the goals of better serving the needs of diverse students, faculty and staff and enhancing minority representation and retention,” said Donna Davis, vice president for human resources

UPS has been supporting the SCC Foundation in a number of ways since 1991. Beyond grant funding, UPS believes in volunteering for the organizations it supports. 

Established in 1951 and based in Atlanta, Ga., the UPS Foundation identifies specific areas where its backing clearly impacts social issues. In support of this strategic approach, the UPS Foundation has identified the following focus areas for giving: volunteerism, diversity, community safety and the environment.    

In 2017, UPS and its employees, active and retired, invested more than $118 million in charitable giving around the world. The UPS Foundation can be found on the web at UPS.com/foundation. To get UPS news direct, visit pressroom.ups.com/RSS.
