Arconic Foundation

Arconic Foundation partners with nonprofit and community organizations to strengthen its communities by enhancing education through skill-building learning experiences, promoting environmental sustainability, and advancing social equity. Arconic Foundation is independently endowed and invests in the communities of Arconic Corporation.

In nearly every community around the world in which Arconic has a major presence, a local Arconic Foundation Ambassador works on behalf of Arconic Foundation, partnering with charitable organizations to collaboratively strengthen our communities and advance the Foundation’s mission. The work of Arconic Foundation is further enhanced by the thousands of Arconic employee volunteers who share their talents and time to make a difference in their communities.

  • will produce measurable, long-term results;
  • can be sustained over time without ongoing Arconic Foundation funding;
  • include employee engagement opportunities;
  • promote visibility through an effective communications strategy; and
  • demonstrate commitment to the inclusion of diverse and underserved populations
