Huber Announces 2024 Impact Your Community Funding Recipients
J.M. Huber Corporation selected 15 projects for its Huber Helps 2024 Impact Your Community (IYC) program that in total will receive more than $550,000 worth of funding.
The annual IYC program supports projects around the world that can benefit a community for multiple years or generations, offering the Company the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in local communities where Huber sites operate.
Employees from locations around the world advocated for causes that they believed Huber could help, submitting 59 applications for IYC funding. Projects were evaluated on a variety of criteria including having a robust governance structure and financial model, creating a long-term positive impact in a community, and providing opportunities for Huber’s employees to participate in volunteerism when appropriate.
