Cargill Citizenship Fund

Cargill is committed to being a global leader in corporate citizenship by supporting the people and possibilities that reside in communities where we do business. We define citizenship as providing a measurable, positive impact onour communities. The Cargill Citizenship Fund provides strategic grants to organizations serving communities where
Cargill has a presence.

Children’s Hospital Emergency Department

Funding from Cargill made upgrading of the Emergency Room at the Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg a reality. The goal was to provide an atmosphere where children would feel more safe and comfortable during what can otherwise be a frightening experience. From a beautiful fish tank to specially commissioned artwork, the revitalized area is a more
positive environment for children receiving treatment.

Farm Safety 4 Just Kids

Cargill is deeply connected to the people who live, work and raise families on our nation’s farms. Since 1992, the company has been a leading corporate sponsor for Farm Safety 4 Just Kids (FS4JK), a non‑profit organization based in Iowa serving communities throughout the United States and Canada. FS4JK’s main objective is to reduce the high number of farm-related injuries and deaths involving children each year. It also aims to increase public awareness and understanding of the hazards to youth on the farm, and promotethe skills and resources to make farms safer. Cargill employees are involved with
FS4JK through local chapters in their areas.

United Way

As part of its efforts to enrich local communities, Cargill and its employees participate in local United Way campaigns raising money to support local health and human service organizations. With the support of more than 8,000 employees in 20 communities throughout Canada, more than $800,000 is raised to support local needs each year. More than 92% of the employees at Cargill’s head office in Winnipeg participate in their campaign and for every $1 raised by employees, the company donates $2 to the campaign, a program that is unmatched among Manitoba’s Top 50 corporate donors.

Breakfast for Learning

Cargill has partnered with the Breakfast for Learning program to help support school breakfast programs in rural Manitoba and Winnipeg’s core area schools. In Ontario,
Sun Valley Foods, a division of Cargill, supports school breakfast programs through Breakfast for Learning in the London region. Breakfast for Learning ensures that students start their day well nourished and ready to learn.

Habitat for Humanity

The mission of Habitat for Humanity is to mobilize volunteers and community partners in building affordable housing and promoting home ownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty. Employees of Cargill provide hundreds of hours of volunteer labour to help construct homes for area families. Approximately 40 homes have been built by Cargill employees across Canada since 1997.

London Children’s Museum “Farm to Fork” program

Elementary school children learn about the food they eat and where it comes from through an education program called “Farm to Fork” sponsored by Sun Valley Foods. Through hands-on exhibits, demonstrations, games and songs, children learn about types of farming, varieties of food that are grown and raised on farms, and how food is processed.

Ronald McDonald House

At Ronald McDonald Houses across Canada, out-of-town families have a home-away-from-home while their children undergo life-saving treatments at nearby hospitals. Cargill employees support the charity through a Voluntary Payroll Deduction Program which allows them to donate directly to the RMH in their community. In addition, the company hosts an annual fundraising golf tournament called FORE! The Houses, with proceeds
going directly to all Ronald McDonald Houses across Canada.
