Hard at work shaping a stronger future in the communities we call home.
Our community involvement spans several decades, and our commitment is as strong now as ever before. Our IngeviCares philanthropic program allows us to give a portion of our revenue and our time to the communities in which we operate, as we pursue our IngeviWay vision of what we want to be: a positive influence in our communities.
The Components of IngeviCares
We focus our charitable giving and community involvement in three areas that support our mission to purify, protect and enhance:
Sustainability
We’ve formed keystone partnerships with organizations aligned with our focus on environmental, economic and social sustainability. These include beach sweeps and a RESPOND plastic alternative gallery at the South Carolina Aquarium, planting trees and vegetables with Shanghai Roots and Shoots’ Million Tree Project and Organic Garden, and a walking trail with Burke County (Ga.) YMCA.
Education
Education, particularly in science, technology, engineering and math, is a key factor for our charitable giving and volunteerism. Our keystone partnerships include an early childhood education initiative at Metanoia (S.C.), job shadowing opportunities for the Boys’ Home of Virginia, in-school initiatives with Family Resource Centers of Kentucky, and mentoring at the Boys and Girls Club of Ashley County (Ark.).
Well-Being
Health and human services are an important part of our volunteerism and charitable giving. Organizations in which we’ve formed lasting partnerships include Lowcountry Food Bank (S.C.), June Jenkins Women’s Shelter (La.) and Wimberly House (Ga.).
Scholarships
Ingevity awarded a total of $60,000 to high school seniors in the U.S. in 2022 through our IngeviCares Leader Scholarship program. The program awards $2,000 scholarships to exceptional applicants in the U.S. communities where we operate.
Ingevity and United Way
In the United States, local United Ways have been a mainstay among Ingevity’s charitable giving initiatives for many years. A catalyst for transformative community change, United Way organizations work with local communities to identify the most pressing needs and find the resources to address them. Employee donations to United Way organizations are matched 100% by Ingevity.
