“These 10 community improvement projects are excellent examples of
Fluor’s commitment to create sustainable communities wherever our
employees live and work,” said Torrence Robinson, senior director of
Global Community Affairs and president of the Fluor Foundation. “We feel
these funds will help these organizations make significant strides in
their missions to help those that are less fortunate and help improve
the quality of life of those they serve.”
In addition to the funding, each organization will receive support from
Fluor volunteers to complete their projects, and at the end of the year,
a Best-in-Class project will be selected earning the organization an
additional $10,000.
Started in 2012 and held every two years, Fluor’s Global Community
Project Fund has enabled employees and partnering charitable
organizations to enrich the lives of 57,000 individuals in communities
around the world.
