Hexion Introduces Associate Volunteer Grant Program

July 05, 2022
Hexion Volunteer Grant - Hexion Cares
Hexion gives generously to many nonprofits and organizations—especially those that support science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.

Hexion is committed to supporting the communities in which we operate and the wellbeing of our associates. In turn, Hexion recognizes that volunteering positively impacts our neighbors and our associates.

To further encourage our U.S.-based associates to volunteer, and recognize them for their hard work and commitment, Hexion introduced an Associate Volunteer Grant Program in 2021. Following achievement of certain milestones of volunteer hours, associates directed a grant to the nonprofit they support. For example, after 25 hours of volunteer work by a Hexion associate, the nonprofit would receive $250, and for 50 hours of volunteering, the organization would receive $500. In 2021, we allocated $25,000 to support this initiative. In addition, in 2021, Hexion associates logged approximately 6,031 volunteer hours, which more than doubled its total compared to the prior year.
