Our Giving Philosophy

At IDEAL Industries, our brands are committed to Building an IDEAL World through the work of the IDEAL Industries Foundation. Our philanthropic efforts uplift our communities, give back to our industries, and honor our core values. 

The IDEAL Foundation Focus Areas

Community Impact: We maintain a strong relationship with the local communities to continue our mission of pouring into the cities that have played a major role in each of our global brands. 

Education Access: Providing educational resources and continuous learning is a top priority for the IDEAL Industries Foundation. Through the Pathways Program, we aim to alleviate barriers and provide support to students to complete education programs to gain skills in the industries our brands specialize in. For our employees, our competitive full-time employee benefits include a scholarship program that aims to provide benefits for employee’s dependents to pursue post-secondary education. Our commitment to education is threaded throughout a variety of initiatives for our early career customers and our dedicated employees.

Purpose In Practice: Each year, our businesses make a positive impact by donating products and technical expertise to causes where we can have the greatest impact. 

Disclaimer: The IDEAL Industries Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals or funding applications.
