“An economy stressed by the effects of a global pandemic has presented a number of challenges for our community and local nonprofit organizations that have been asked to do more with fewer resources,” said Nakisha Burns, ExxonMobil Beaumont public and government affairs manager. “We hope our contributions will provide some relief as these organizations work to maintain their operations and quality services under what are perhaps some unprecedented circumstances.”
ExxonMobil’s contributions include $45,000 to the Lamar University Foundation, $15,000 to the Golden Triangle Chapter of the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering and its Trailblazer program, and $10,000 for Nutrition and Services for Seniors to support its transportation programs.
The Art Museum of Southeast Texas will also receive $10,000 for its “Art After School” program and museum memberships for Beaumont public school students, and the Beaumont Public Schools Foundation will receive $5,125 for teaching grants, and the purchase of masks and water for partner schools.
These contributions are in addition to the more than $260,000 ExxonMobil has contributed to local nonprofit organizations in 2020, including a $160,000 contribution to the United Way of Beaumont and North Jefferson County to support a variety of programs across the region.
