Throughout our history at UPS, we've found that we grow by investing not only in our business, but also in the communities we serve. This belief drove us to establish The UPS Foundation in 1951 to develop and champion innovative solutions to social problems.

At UPS, we realize the "community" is not just where we live, but who we touch. Ours is a familiar face around the world, where we touch millions of lives by delivering services in more than 200 countries and territories - and where The UPS Foundation fulfills its commitment of enriching those lives by creating healthy, vibrant communities through education, economic development and new opportunities.

As UPS begins its second century of service, The UPS Foundation has realigned its global strategy to strengthen its impact and better leverage the intellectual and physical assets of the company. The following focus areas are built upon our rich experience and align with UPS's vision for the future: Economic and Global Literacy, Environmental Sustainability, Nonprofit Effectiveness, Strength from Diversity and Community Safety.
