What Makes Us Different:

The UPS Foundation is the charitable arm of the United Parcel Service. We're committed to making a lasting difference through hands-on, community based service. UPS employees live and work in the communities they serve, and learn first hand where help is needed. Through volunteerism, community grants and creative programs, the focus is always on helping others in ways that work.

The UPS Foundation's focus is set by UPS employees. The Foundation's philanthropic efforts reflect the need our employees see in the community every day. For UPS, social responsibility involves more than writing a check. UPS is involved in communities where our employees live and work. We have made a personal commitment to make a difference through hands-on community service.

The UPS Foundation is focused on positive results, and takes care to fund programs that can demonstrate positive changes for the people who need them most.
