Local Community
Investments
Mosaic is especially commit ted to the strength
and prosperit y of the communities where we
have offices and operations. Our corporate and
philanthropic contributions are a vital part of local
infrastructure. With operations in North America,
South America and Asia, we believe it is our
responsibility to contribute financial resources, our
innovative spirit and expertise through strategic
par tnerships with best-in-class organizations.
Our communities are also our homes — where
we live, work and raise children. We strive to
be a thought ful and engaged neighbor who
invests carefully and generously and seeks long-
term par tnerships with organizations that are
making a dif ference. We of ten work with small
organizations that do not t ypically receive funding
from large companies, and we also suppor t
projects in which our employees take leadership
roles through board ser vice or volunteering. In
fiscal 2012, Mosaic launched an online grant
system that allows local nonprofit organizations
that meet selective criteria to apply for funding
with greater ease and efficiency. On a local level,
Mosaic understands that the prosperity of our
business and our communities is indelibly linked.
