    Summary

    The Freeport-McMoRan Foundation supports organizations involved with arts and culture, education, the environment, health, mental health, crime and violence prevention, employment, nutrition, housing, safety, recreation, human services, community development, science, civic affairs, and economically disadvantaged people.


    The Foundation has identified the following area(s) of interest:

    • Social Investment Program - The foundation supports programs designed to ensure that resources are used to address high-priority needs and community development. Special emphasis is directed toward programs designed to address education and training; economic and community development; community safety, health, and wellness; the environment; and cultural heritage and the arts. Social Investment funding is only available to communities without a Community Investment Fund.
    • Community Investment Fund (CIF) - Through Community Investment Funds, the foundation supports programs designed to promote local capacity-building, community development, and sustainability. The CIFs are governed by community representatives who cultivate and address projects that serve priority needs of the community and the foundation funds those projects that have a positive, sustainable impact. CIFs are limited to Globe, Graham County, Greenlee County, Green Valley, Miami, and Sahuarita AZ, Climax Area, CO, and Grant County, NM.
    • Mini-Grants for Education - The foundation awards grants to K-12 schools and teachers to strengthen and expand opportunities for young people to learn and excel in education. Special emphasis is directed toward projects designed to promote the environment; mining, mineral, and natural resources; reading and literacy; and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
    • Native American Partnership Fund - The foundation supports programs designed to address priority issues and needs in the Native American reservation communities and tribal leaders. Special emphasis is directed toward education and training; health and wellness; cultural preservation; women's development; and elder engagement. The program is limited to the Hualapai, San Carlos Apache, Tohono O'odham, and White Mountain Apache tribes.
    • STEM Innovation Grants - The foundation awards grants to K-12 teachers and schools to develop, improve, and expand innovative instructional programs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
    • Women's Development Program - The foundation supports programs designed to provide women and/or girls opportunities to reach their full potential and achieve economic success, including education, physical/mental health and wellness, entrepreneurship/employment, and mentoring or leadership development, with a goal of increasing access to key services critical to women's equal participation and success in their communities.
    • FM Scholarship Program - The foundation awards college scholarships to children of domestic and international Freeport-McMoRan employees. The program is administered by the National Merit Scholarship Corp. and the International Institute of Education (IIE).
    • University Scholarships - The foundation awards scholarships to students pursuing a degree in engineering or mining at select colleges and universities. Special emphasis is directed towards students entering their junior or senior year studying engineering, sustainability, geology, chemistry, environmental sciences, health and safety, or business.
    • Employee Matching Gifts Program - The foundation matches contributions made by employees and directors of Freeport-McMoRan to nonprofits, civic, health, social welfare, educational, cultural, environmental or other community organizations that provide a public service.
