 As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we bring the resources and expertise of our corporation and our employees together with local partners to create meaningful, sustained change.

Employee passion and enthusiastic participation guide the work of the Celanese Foundation, and our investments go directly to the charities our team members choose to support through our own dollars and volunteer time.

We do not have a formal external grant process. Community investment is largely employee-driven with the majority of our funding going to organizations chosen by employees at our individual sites in alignment with our strategic pillars: Thriving Families, Quality Education and Environmental Preservation.

 

Thriving Families

The Celanese Foundation plays a vital role in helping underserved families thrive despite often challenging circumstances. Through community engagement and financial support, the Foundation works with key community partners to create meaningful impact by offering families financial stability, access to healthcare, safe places to live and grow and overall wellbeing.

 

Quality Education

Through our work with local schools and education-focused organizations, the Celanese Foundation helps prepare students for a lifetime of success and achievement. We believe that education at all levels is a critical tool that opens doors to positive future outcomes.

 

Environmental Preservation

The Celanese Foundation is passionate about caring for our planet. We seek to improve the world through partnerships with environmental agencies and nonprofit organizations whose goals include preserving the environment, lowering carbon footprint and ultimately sustainably changing how we live and work.
