NASHVILLE, Tennessee (16 et 2021 décembre) - LP Building Solutions (LP), l’un des principaux fabricants de produits de construction haute performance, est fière d’annoncer que l’entreprise a fait don de plus de 550 000 $ en 2021 par le biais de sa Fondation LP et d’autres initiatives caritatives de l’entreprise. The LP Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has five philanthropic programs: Grants and Sponsorships, Disaster Relief, Community Mill Grants, Employee Nonprofit Board Sponsorships, and the Employee Giving Match Program.
The LP Foundation's philanthropic focus aligns closely with LP's vision, values and purpose of Building a Better World™. Les dons sont au profit d'organismes à but non lucratif et d'écoles publiques faisant partie des catégories suivantes : environnement, éducation publique de la maternelle au secondaire, ainsi que diversité, équité et inclusion.
“We stay true to LP's purpose of Building a Better World™ by enriching our community through thoughtful giving and volunteering,” said LP Foundation President Breeanna Straessle. “2021 was an outstanding year for the LP Foundation in terms of both giving and impact. In addition to donating more than half a million dollars, LP employees also volunteered their time to dozens of local causes, such as building homes with Habitat for Humanity, teaching high school students about sustainable forestry, and collecting school supplies for teachers.”
In 2021, the LP Foundation had a record-breaking year of giving through its Community Mill Grants program, donating more than ever within the communities where it operates. Organizations and schools were identified by employees at LP mills across the U.S. and Canada based on community need. The foundation also continued its tradition of contributing to nonprofits in Nashville, Tennessee, where the company is headquartered. Among these hometown grants was a 50 000 $ donation to the Adventure Science Center, a nonprofit science museum for children. The donation contributed to the development of an urban arboretum in the heart of Music City, a particularly fitting project given LP's long history of sustainable forest management.
"Support from the LP Foundation was instrumental in creating the Adventure Science Center 75th Anniversary Arboretum, a project that allowed us to take our nonprofit mission outdoors, provide free learning experiences for the community, and celebrate a significant milestone in our history," said Adventure Science Center President and Chief Executive Officer Steve Hinkley. "Strong relationships with the business community have helped make Adventure Science Center an irreplaceable part of Nashville and Middle Tennessee, and we are grateful to the LP Foundation for their partnership."
The LP Foundation continued its long-time partnership with PENCIL, which connects community resources with Metro Nashville Public Schools. This year, the LP PENCIL Box program reached an incredible milestone-surpassing 10 $ million in free teacher supply donations since the program was launched in 2006.
Additional grants were issued this year to nonprofits such as LP's long-standing partner, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville; Hard Bargain Association; Rebuilding Together Nashville; Tennessee Wildlife Federation; Serving Souls; Two Harbors Fire Department; Project Backpack; and United Way of Southwest Alabama, among others.
As a building solutions company, LP is deeply committed to rebuilding areas severely impacted by natural disasters where LP has a significant local employee and business presence. In 2021, both LP and the LP Foundation provided financial support for disaster relief and humanitarian aid following two devastating floods in Nashville, Tennessee, and surrounding communities; the 2020 Christmas Day bombing in historic downtown Nashville; and after a tornado ripped through Clarke County, Alabama, near an LP OSB facility.
En plus du soutien de longue date de LP à la communauté, plusieurs des employés de l'entreprise sont des membres actifs des communautés locales, offrent fréquemment leur temps et ressources pour soutenir les besoin de leurs communautés. La fondation a continué à soutenir ces efforts au cours de l'année dernière grâce ses commandites aux conseils d'administration d'organismes à but non lucratif gérés par des employés ainsi que le programme d'équivalence des dons des employés. Since 2013, LP employees have personally contributed more than 370 000 $ to charitable organizations and educational institutions across North America, for which the LP Foundation has provided matching gifts totaling nearly 800 000 $.
La LP Foundation a été fondée en 1973 en tant qu'organisme à but non lucratif 501(c)(3) aux États-Unis. Depuis sa création, la LP Foundation a fait don de plus de 20 millions de dollars à des organismes à but non lucratif et à des écoles de la maternelle au secondaire des communautés dans lesquelles LP exploite son entreprise.
