Strengthening the positive impact of grantmaking, employee giving, and community service efforts.
At Corning, we know that our vibrant communities are the backbone of our company and that volunteers and donations help fuel our local nonprofits.
For employees
Corning supports the nonprofit organizations and causes that our people are most passionate about, aligning personal values with community needs. This creates a sense of purpose and fulfillment that extends beyond the workplace.
Active part-time and full-time U.S. based Corning employees who have been employed for at least 30 days are eligible for the following employee programs:
Corning will contribute $0.50 for every $1 gift made by eligible Corning employee of at least $10 made to eligible nonprofit organizations, up to a total of $7,500 per employee each calendar year.
This program encourages employees to volunteer in their communities by providing grants to the nonprofit where employees contribute their time and efforts.
This program empowers employees to nominate eligible nonprofit organizations for a $1,000 USD grant. This allows Corning to invest in the organizations that mean the most to our employees.
Employees can nominate other employees, who show exceptional volunteer service. Recipients may direct a $1,000 USD grant to an eligible nonprofit organization of their choice.
