Building Stronger Communities, One Charitable Donation at a Time
NORWALK, CONNECTICUT / ACCESSWIRE / January 14, 2025 / In addition to its longstanding community outreach and philanthropy programs, King Industries sets a new powerful example of corporate social responsibility through its beloved "Chemistry of Giving" initiative. This program not only reflects the company's commitment to making a meaningful difference, but also empowers its employees to give back to causes that are close to their hearts.
Building Stronger Communities, One Charitable Donation at a Time
Now in its second year, the program initiates an intercompany raffle, which grants three employees the opportunity to select a charitable organization of their choice to receive a generous donation in the employee's name-fully funded by King Industries.
The Spirit Behind "Chemistry of Giving"
"I think everyone would like to give more to the charities that are close to their hearts." says Shenton King, VP Marketing & Business Development for King Industries. He adds, "King is in a unique position to empower our people with the gift of giving, and we think that is incredibly special, and so do our employees - who love the program!"
This initiative is designed to strengthen community ties and reflect the company's belief in shared success. By enabling employees to choose organizations meaningful to them, King Industries amplifies its collective impact and inspires a culture of compassion across its teams.
How the Initiative Works:
Winners are selected randomly, ensuring a fair and transparent process. Each winner has the privilege of selecting a nonprofit or charitable organization to receive the donation. King funds the charitable donations, allowing the company to make an impact on diverse causes.
