With the unpredictable weather we have had lately I thought it might be good to highlight a group that gives assistance in the area of disaster relief along with other funding objectives.

This week’s pick: The Social Responsibility Program of the FedEx Company serves core giving areas that include:

• emergency and disaster relief;
• pedestrian and child safety;
• education; and
• health and human services

You must be a non-profit to apply and you will need your organization’s tax identification number to access the online application. If you a non-U.S.-based non-profit you need to submit an application via mail. Requests are accepted year-round and reviewed in approximately 3 weeks of receipt. Indication of involvement of FedEx employees in your project will be favored.
