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 organization. This program helps income-eligible senior citizens, disabled adults, and veterans of the United States Armed Forces or their surviving spouse so that they may continue living independently. Each summer, teams of volunteers paint and repair the home's exterior of those who are not able to do the maintenance work themselves.
The Graco Foundation’s mission is to support local non-profit organizations to grow in their ability to serve community needs through grants focused on capital projects, specific programs and technology needs.
Graco prioritises local organizations, 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 places emphasis on educational programs; especially STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths); and human service programs promoting workforce and youth development.
In 2024, the Graco Foundation’s contributions reached $1,594,558.
The 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 at 4 year colleges and technical schools in the areas where Graco has facilities totalling $286,000.
