Funding Priorities
- Recycling
- As a leading manufacturer of infinitely recyclable aluminum, they are dedicated to creating a more sustainable future through packaging. The recycling partners bridge gaps in recycling education and provide tools, resources, and other necessary infrastructure to support more sustainable opportunities.
- Disaster Relief
- At Ball, they are dedicated to the communities that sustain them. They believe it is the responsibility to support the communities the employees call home, especially during their hardest times. They do so by working closely with the partners to support local charities when natural disasters strike.
- Education
- Aluminum manufacturing requires talented individuals with engineering, technology and other STEM-related backgrounds. The education partners drive diversity within STEM fields, support access to STEM education, and foster interest in engineering and STEM-related careers.
