Donaldson takes pride in giving back to the community where its employees work and live. Many of our community initiatives support multicultural programs and organizations that strengthen the communities of which we are a part.
The following is a sampling of the programs actively supported by Donaldson and coordinated by our employees:
Bridging
Bridging provides families in transition with a bed to sleep on, a chair to sit on, and a dish to eat from, which turns their house into a home. Each fall, Donaldson employees donate a truckload of household items to help Bridging replenish their shelves.
INROADS
INROADS has helped businesses gain greater access to diverse talent through development and placement of outstanding ethnically diverse students. Donaldson participates each year in the INROADS internship program.
Junior Achievement
Donaldson is committed to providing the volunteers necessary to extend the opportunity for students to participate in Junior Achievement in grades K-12. We also hold an annual bowl-a-thon fundraiser to support JA.
Memorial Blood Center
Donaldson teams up with Memorial Blood Centers to sponsor blood drives on the Bloomington Campus. We hold at least five drives annually.
MS 150
Donaldson Company forms a team of over 100 riders who participate in the Noran Clinic MS-150 Bike Tour. This is an annual fundraiser for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and all proceeds go to help battle the crippling disease of MS.
Reuben Lindh Family Services
Reuben Lindh Family Services (RLFS) is based in the inner-city of Minneapolis. RLFS provides family services to traditionally underserved children, families, and communities. Donaldson employee’s contributions include school supplies and holiday baskets.
Toys for Tots
Donaldson employees collect toys and gifts for children because "every child should be remembered during the holidays."
United Way
United Way defines the most critical issues in our community, creates innovative solutions, and produces measurable results. Donaldson holds an annual campaign to raise money for United Way. In 2007, Donaldson employees and retirees raised more than $480,000.
