Graco Foundation
Committed to Communities Where We Work
Graco has been participating in the Metro Paint-a-thon for over 20 years, which, as of 2019, has transitioned to being led by the Hearts and Hammer organisation. This program helps income-eligible senior citizens, disabled adults, and veterans of the United States Armed Forces or their surviving spouses, so that they may continue to live independently. Each summer, teams of volunteers paint and repairs the home's exterior for those who are not able to do the maintenance themselves.
The Graco Foundation’s mission is to support local non-profit organisations as they grow in their ability to serve community needs through grants focused on capital projects, specific programs and technology needs.
Graco prioritises local organisations, especially those close to our U.S. facilities, that have a proven track record of enabling people to become self-sufficient and more productive. It emphasises educational programmes; especially STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics); and human service programmes that promote workforce and youth development.
In 2024, the Graco Foundation’s contributions reached $1,594,558.
Graco Scholarship Programme
As today’s students enter our workforce, they are facing new challenges and opportunities never before imaginable. At Graco, we recognise the contributions of these students and the important role that education plays in their development. The Graco Scholarship Programme gives us an opportunity to invest in the education of employees’ children around the world. In 2024, the Graco Foundation awarded scholarships to employee's children totalling $196,000 and funded scholarships to 4-year colleges and technical schools in the areas where Graco has facilities totalling $286,000.
