The ExxonMobil Houston Giving Campaign raised a record $16 million, an increase of $2.6 million from last year and the largest fundraising total in more than 60 years of community giving and contributions. This total includes contributions from ExxonMobil employees, retirees, the ExxonMobil Foundation, and proceeds from multiple fundraising events.

These results underscore ExxonMobil’s long-standing culture of community engagement and the shared commitment of its workforce to strengthening the Greater Houston community.

$13.3 million to the United Way of Greater Houston, supporting essential services from education and workforce training to basic needs for families.
$1.3 million to the ExxonMobil Foundation for STEM scholarships, college readiness, and summer programming for Teen Engineering and Tech Center students.
$1.4 million to support 768 local nonprofits, with food banks receiving the most employee directed contributions.

"In a year when more families across Greater Houston faced rising and complex challenges, ExxonMobil's generosity rose to meet the moment," said Amanda McMillian, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Houston. "Through the extraordinary commitment of their employees and retirees, ExxonMobil once again led our largest workplace campaign, fueling real, measurable impact to help our neighbors struggling to make ends meet not only land on their feet, but stay there."

“Our employees and retirees continue to make a powerful difference in our hometown,” said ExxonMobil Senior President Jon Gibbs. “Their generosity demonstrates our shared commitment to expanding educational opportunities, addressing basic needs, and supporting local organizations that help families and students succeed.”
