Michelman pledges $750K to support nonprofits, STEM education, more

A Cincinnati-based company, Michelman, has pledged $750,000 to support community-focused nonprofits, STEM education programs and initiatives promoting sustainability efforts.

This funding is part of the company’s 75th anniversary celebration and its community to philanthropy and community giving. The company will distribute the funds through its six global locations.

The announcement coincided with Michelman’s 13th annual Commitment to Community Day, where 450 associates worldwide volunteered at charitable organizations. 

In Cincinnati, Michelman leadership and associates volunteered at organizations such as Easter Seals, Brighton Center, Last Mile Food Rescue, New Life Furniture Bank, and United Way of Greater Cincinnati. They participated in activities like painting and repairing homes, packaging food, and landscape/garden cleanups.

As part of its financial gift, Michelman associates will play an active role in selecting local nonprofit organizations to receive a portion of the gift. 

“Giving is a core value for our company,” said Rick Michelman, president and CEO. “We believe it’s essential to give our time, resources, and talent to the communities that have helped us grow and succeed, so they can become even better places to live and work.”
