Printable Version FedEx Community




FedEx is committed to its employees, and the communities it serves. In addition to corporate philanthropy and employee volunteerism, FedEx has developed strategic relationships with charitable organizations that share its values.

 

FedEx mission is to actively support and provide a valuable benefit to the communities it serves, and to strengthen its global reputation through strategic allocation of its people, resources and network.

 

Core Giving Areas

 

Working with global and grassroots organisations across Europe, the Middle East, Indian subcontinent and Africa, FedEx provides support under four specific areas that draw on the strength of both the FedEx organisation, and its employees across the region.


Emergency and Disaster Relief
FedEx provides contributions and logistics/ transportation support for emergency and disaster needs. Relationships have been established with several relief agencies to help ensure that aid reaches people quickly and efficiently during times of crisis.


Pedestrian and Child Safety
Safety is a core FedEx value, and it is the company’s top priority across all operations. FedEx currently partners with the Safe Kids Foundation,
India to promote child and pedestrian safety, and also supports other organizations that work to enhance the safety of children and road-users across the region.
 
Education
Education is vital to the future of our communities and to FedEx. The company works extensively with organisations that deliver educational programs such as the
FedEx Brake Road Safety Academy in the UK.  FedEx also supports youth development organizations across the globe that deliver educational programs in the following areas: environment, cultural diversity, technology, global economics and trade to enhance learning.
 
Health and Human Services
FedEx provides support for health and human service needs through its relationships with Fondation de France, Child Relief and You (CRY),
India, and SOS Kinderdorf in Germany.

 

 

Requests for Assistance

 

Available support includes financial contributions, in-kind shipping services and coordination of volunteer services by our employees.

 

FedEx prefers to contribute to specific program needs rather than special events or capital campaigns, and focuses on building long-term relationships with local partners. Because of the large volume of requests we receive, FedEx is unable to accept requests made via telephone.

 

Applicants should be registered charitable organisations, in good financial and public standing.  Organisations must show evidence of competent management, low administrative/fundraising expense ratios, and a non discriminatory program benefiting broad segments of the community.

 

For all programs, FedEx heavily weighs the potential involvement of its employees when reviewing an organisation or project.  Requests are judged on individual merit, however, funding is generally not available for the following:

  • Additional funds to organizations already supported
  • Athletic groups or activities, including charity-benefit sporting events
  • Complimentary shipping of items sold through fundraisers
  • Exclusively tax-supported educational institutions
  • Individual needs, including scholarships
  • Endowments or memorials
  • Public or private elementary schools, secondary schools or colleges
  • FedEx promotional merchandise
  • Political or labour organizations
  • Sectarian or religious denominations
  • Membership dues
  • Travel funds for tours, expeditions or trips

 

FedEx Express endeavours to responds to all requests in writing. However, because of the large volume of requests it receives, the company is unable to give any responses or confirmations over the telephone.

 

If your request is selected for funding or support, you will be notified. Not every request that matches FedEx contribution guidelines will receive funding.  All contributions are one-time only unless otherwise stated.
