In the United States, each of the 11 communities where Maytag has major U.S. operating facilities, employee committees have funds available from the foundation to award grants, generally in the $500 to $2,500 range, to non-profit charitable or educational organizations. Locally, programs in Jasper County that address issues or problems in the following categories are eligible: families, youth (including teens and preschool), emergency services, community betterment (include recreational and cultural programs), education and program addressing issues of the elderly, persons with disabilities and health-related programming. Awards will be made only for innovative programs, those that are creative, new, enhanced or expanded. Awards will not be granted for general operating budgets. Interested non-profit organizations should contact Lou Ann Hill by phone at 787-6357 or by e-mail at lhill@maytag.com to receive an application.
