Bringing Positive Impact to PPG Communities

It is with great pleasure that the PPG Industries Foundation celebrates its 60th year as an integral part of PPG Industries. From its founding in 1883 through the present day, PPG’s history reflects its dedication to enriching the communities where it has a presence. In fact, one of the first Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company donations on record in the late 1800s was to the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh - an organization we continue to support today.

Since the PPG Industries Foundation was formalized in 1951, it has generously contributed millions of dollars to organizations that address the educational, human services, cultural and arts, and civic and community affairs needs of the people and regions they serve.

As our world has changed, so has PPG. Our charitable giving and its impact have reflected PPG’s growth through innovation, expansion and success. Through our new Global Charitable Contributions Program, PPG recently extended its support to efforts in communities throughout Canada, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, complementing its history of supporting U.S. organizations.

PPG is especially interested in supporting projects that contribute to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Our employees at all levels contribute an enormous amount of time, talent and enthusiasm to preserving and enhancing the global communities in which they live and work.

It is a great tribute to PPG and its employees that our Foundation is celebrating 60 years of providing financial assistance, supporting employee volunteers and enriching our U.S. communities. And we are very excited to be launching the new Global Charitable Contributions Program to support communities around the world.

It is my privilege to play a role in PPG’s community and social responsibility efforts.
