Description:
FedEx is committed to supporting the communities we serve by strategically investing our time, resources, and network. We accept funding proposals by invitation only from U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and Canadian-based organizations with charitable Business Number registration, and we are unable to respond to individual requests for funding. Priority is assigned to programs that fall within our three core focus areas:
- Delivering for Good – Lending our global network and unparalleled logistics expertise to organizations with mission-critical needs and helping communities before, during and after crises.
- Sustainable Logistics – Supporting the entire logistics industry and the communities we serve to operate more sustainably through improved urban mobility solutions, sustainable fleet technology and natural environment restoration.
- Global Entrepreneurship – Advancing women and minority-owned small businesses globally through training and increased access to resources, capital and new markets.
