Honoring the causes closest to our hearts
By Nichelle Rachal, Associate Director – Community Relations
At Clorox, our purpose is clear: We champion people to be well and thrive every single day. That purpose lives not only in the products we create, but in the hearts of our teammates — and nowhere is that more evident than in their support of nonprofit organizations that serve our communities.
Getting Involved For Tomorrow, or GIFT, is our workplace giving program where we match teammates’ donations to the nonprofit of their choice dollar for dollar up to $2,500 per year. In 2024, 56% of our teammates in the U.S. and Canada donated more than $4 million to support 4,500 organizations. From disaster relief to arts education, these organizations reflect the values of our workforce and the many ways to create new pathways to address societal challenges.
We’re proud to celebrate the causes championed by our teammates. These are the top 10 nonprofits we supported last year:
- American Red Cross: Providing emergency assistance, disaster relief, and preparedness education across the globe.
- Dimensions Dance Theater Inc: Celebrating culture and heritage through innovative and inclusive dance performance and education.
- Humane World for Animals Inc: Protecting animals through rescue, advocacy, and compassionate care initiatives.
- Save the Children Federation Inc: Advancing the rights and well-being of children in the U.S. and around the world.
- Shiloh Christian Academy: Empowering youth through faith-based education and community development programs.
- St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Leading the way in treating and defeating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
- Team Rubicon: Mobilizing veterans and first responders to provide disaster response and humanitarian aid.
- True Colors Theatre Company: Championing diverse voices through bold, thought-provoking theater that gives voices to bold artists of all cultures.
- United Strings of Color: Using classical music to inspire and empower young musicians.
- World Central Kitchen Inc: Delivering meals to communities impacted by natural disasters and humanitarian crises worldwide.
Whether donating time, resources, or expertise, our teammates continue to be a force for good, focused on serving others. Their commitment to community is a reminder that impact starts with people and that, together, we can spark change.
Community involvement is an integral part of our business and is carried out through a holistic program of grant-making, volunteerism and leadership in community service. In support of these efforts, Clorox offers teammates the opportunity to make contributions to nonprofit organizations of their choice, which are matched by The Clorox Company Foundation through our annual giving campaign. While the Foundation does not select these organizations, we recognize that Clorox employees choose to support many different causes they care about.
