BIW recognizes a fundamental responsibility to contribute to the overall welfare of the communities where it conducts business and the nation as a whole.
We are a proud supporter of United Way and all of its partner agencies. We do consider other contribution requests. Donations, sponsorships and in-kind donation requests are brought to our Contributions Committee for review.
Company-supported and company-sanctioned activities are limited to organizations or institutions that:
- Are non-profit, voluntary community or social service organizations (classified as such by the IRS), public charities, and “tax-exempt” under IRS Code Section 501(c)(3).
- Provide services that are consistent with BIW’s overall contributions priorities.
- Are financially self-sustaining, so that BIW is not the primary source of funding.
- Do not restrict services or support to only individuals, members or groups of a particular religious affiliation.
- Are not of a political or labor-related nature (including, without limitation, organizations and/or institutions that derive funds or other support from a union or are otherwise affiliated with a union or union-related causes or interests) unless specifically recommended by the Contributions Advisory Committee and approved by the president.
- Serve BIW employees, their families, or the communities where they live.
- Are seeking support for a specific event and not for general operating funds or capital campaigns unless specifically recommended by the Contributions Advisory Committee and approved by the president.
- Are not seeking support for school social / non-educational activities (dances, class parties, etc., except for High School Project Graduation events) or youth sports organizations (team sponsorships, etc.).
