Being a Good Neighbor
At MPC, our community investment strategy is centered around strengthening communities and helping make people's lives better. We focus on contributions and partnerships with charitable organizations that reflect the priorities of our community stakeholders, align with our core values, amplify our sustainability strategy and enable us to make a positive, measurable impact.
Charitable Contributions and Grants
MPC and our employees provide support to 501(c)(3) non-profit and government-related organizations and agencies in the form of Community Investments, sponsorships, local giving grants and workplace giving and volunteerism. Preference is given to communities where the company has a significant operational and employee presence and we strategically focus on three core areas where it can make a positive, measurable impact: workforce development, sustainability and thriving communities.
Grant proposals are accepted by invitation. If your organization is selected to apply, you will be contacted directly with steps for accessing the application. If you have not received an invitation and are interested in funding, you may submit an inquiry to your local community relations contact or email [email protected]. Please note, only a small number of inquiries are invited to submit a proposal.
Community Investment Priorities
Workforce Development
From engineers to pipefitters, chemists to accountants, IT specialists to welders, MPC’s success relies on our ability to recruit and retain employees with exceptional skills-based experience. Our goal is to invest in workforce initiatives that better prepare individuals for professional success by increasing access to high-quality educational training and career readiness resources inclusive of vocational, technical and skilled trades.
Sustainability
Consistent with our commitment to meet the needs of today while investing in a sustainable future is our support of community programs involving environmental conservation and sustainability. MPC supports environmental government agencies, community groups, trade organizations and professional and industry associations devoted to protecting, conserving and sustaining natural resources. These efforts may include life sciences and breakthrough research, protecting biodiversity, preserving or creating parks and green spaces, improving air and water quality and increasing access to clean water and food.
Thriving Communities
We are committed to making our communities stronger, safer and thriving places to live and work. MPC provides funding for programs that promote the resiliency of our shared communities including helping to address basic needs, supporting youth development programs and creating opportunities for economic vitality. This also includes safety projects and efforts that help communities better prepare for, mitigate the risks of and respond to disasters, hazards and emergencies.
MPC encourages me to get involved within the community, and even donates $500 to the charity of my choice after I log 24 hours of volunteer time.
