For corporations, establishing a foundation creates a separate legal entity that is entirely devoted to charitable activities and providing financial support for the causes that reflect a company\u2019s values.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some companies, taking on a separate legal entity and everything that commitment entails can be overwhelming. Many companies can start by partnering with a donor advised fund or community foundation. This approach is a great way to start corporate giving and learn the process and rules for donating funds. Community foundations can not only help with grant making but also facilitating employee matching, vetting potential non-profit partners, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flex is a large company with an expansive footprint. Establishing the Flex Foundation has allowed us to have a separate entity that is fully focused on philanthropic activity and funding and matching initiatives that foster meaningful change for the communities where we operate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we established the Flex Foundation in 2002, we did so with cross-functional buy-in across the organization, which solidified our relationship with groups like Legal and Finance, who partner with us on an ongoing basis to ensure the foundation\u2019s success. Legal and Finance are critical partners to ensure your foundation is adhering to all laws and regulations where you operate and financial standards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-defining-a-foundation-s-purpose\" style=\"font-weight:600\">Defining a foundation\u2019s purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When setting up a foundation, a focus must be defined to set parameters for philanthropic activities. Every community where a company operates has a great number of needs and opportunities for giving back \u2014 far more than any single entity can fully address. Having a defined purpose helps guide the foundation\u2019s day-to-day decisions and evaluation of potential projects to support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foundations set up by corporations typically follow one of two approaches in defining a purpose. Some choose to adopt a specific cause, focusing their efforts and resources on a single area. For example, a corporate foundation may decide to support K-12 education and commit all their endowments to this cause.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other, more common approach is to determine the foundation\u2019s purpose by using the corporation\u2019s overall mission and core values as a guiding light. For example, the Flex Foundation\u2019s giving and volunteer strategy aligns with the company\u2019s strategic direction and sustainability strategy and focuses on four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>#3 \u2013 good health and well-being&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>#8 \u2013 decent work and economic growth&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>#12 \u2013 responsible consumption and production&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>#13 \u2013 climate action&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By narrowing our focus to four areas, we have greater clarity on our purpose and the foundation\u2019s philanthropic efforts. We aim to think globally and act locally. The projects we support every year must advance these development strategies, whether that be deploying renewable energy sources (#13), or providing hospitals with personal protective equipment donations (#3).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other strategy that guides our decision-making at the Flex Foundation is to always try to help the greatest number of people possible. For example, if we must choose between funding a single scholarship or providing a grant of school supplies and educational resources for a larger group of students, we will likely opt for the project with the wider reach and impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having parameters and decision-making criteria for grant-making will help maintain a focus and provide a framework to say \u201cno\u201d as well as say \u201cyes\u201d to funding requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-a-foundation-s-management-ecosystem\" style=\"font-weight:600\">A foundation\u2019s management ecosystem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the foundation\u2019s purpose is defined and buy-in from stakeholders across the organization is secured, it is imperative to set up management of the foundation\u2019s day-to-day operations. Having a balance between people on the ground in the communities where operations are located and a central group with oversight of all activities and resources is especially important when a foundation\u2019s activities are spread across a diverse geographical region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"id-69e6f715efc46\" class=\"box block content-width dark-content zh \" style=\"background-color: transparent; background-image: none;\">\n\t<style>\n\t\t#id-69e6f715efc46 > .container > .content {\n\t\t\tbackground-color: #eaeef4ff;\n\t\t\tposition: relative;\n\t\t\tpadding-top: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-right: 60px;\n\t\t\tpadding-bottom: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-left: 60px;\n\t\t\tmargin-left: 0px;\n\t\t\tmargin-right: 0px;\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 1272px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69e6f715efc46.box.block.full-width > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 960px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69e6f715efc46 > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-top: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 30px;\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-bottom: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 30px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-the-flex-foundation-operates-globally-and-is-made-up-of\">The Flex Foundation operates globally and is made up of:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Community representatives:<\/strong>\u202fThe in-region individuals at each of our sites who are embedded in the communities where we operate and can liaise directly with nonprofits in the area&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sustainability regional leads:<\/strong>\u202fWorking with a specific set of community representatives, the regional leads consolidate and coordinate the activities and requests for an entire region (e.g., North America or Asia)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Global sustainability program office:<\/strong>\u202fThe centralized sustainability program office is the final filter to review and analyze projects from around the world.

This is not where our relationship with the grant recipients ends. Six months after they receive a grant, the organizations we funded report back on the results achieved with the money awarded. This is a crucial step, both for legal and tax purposes, and to help us learn more about how we can continue to grow the Flex Foundation\u2019s reach and impact.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Flex Foundation has awarded grants to support numerous projects aligned with our targeted UN Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on climate change mitigation and adaptation, community skill enhancement, and more. These global efforts involve collaboration with leading non-profits, including the American Red Cross, Planet Water Foundation, Give2Asia, and others.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"id-69e6f715f08ac\" class=\"box block content-width dark-content zh \" style=\"background-color: transparent; background-image: none;\">\n\t<style>\n\t\t#id-69e6f715f08ac > .container > .content {\n\t\t\tbackground-color: #eaeef4ff;\n\t\t\tposition: relative;\n\t\t\tpadding-top: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-right: 60px;\n\t\t\tpadding-bottom: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-left: 60px;\n\t\t\tmargin-left: 0px;\n\t\t\tmargin-right: 0px;\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 1272px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69e6f715f08ac.box.block.full-width > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 960px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69e6f715f08ac > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-top: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 30px;\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-bottom: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 30px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>Amity Foundation, Hong Kong shares a vision and mission with the Amity Foundation, which is headquartered in mainland China non-profit in Hong Kong, whichand primarily engages in awareness building, fundraising, and advocacy for social services and sustainable development, including focuses on promoting marine conservation and reducing ocean pollution through environmental education and coastal cleanup activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our continued partnership will support an awareness program that will reach 1,500 community residents, college students, and city cleaners to promote education about waste and its risk to the environment and human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This campaign will share actionable strategies of reduction, reuse, and recycling to enable the community to contribute to a low-carbon and environmentally conscious future.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"spacer block\" style=\"height: 24px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"id-69e6f715f1025\" class=\"box block content-width dark-content zh \" style=\"background-color: transparent; background-image: none;\">\n\t<style>\n\t\t#id-69e6f715f1025 > .container > .content {\n\t\t\tbackground-color: #eaeef4ff;\n\t\t\tposition: relative;\n\t\t\tpadding-top: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-right: 60px;\n\t\t\tpadding-bottom: 48px;\n\t\t\tpadding-left: 60px;\n\t\t\tmargin-left: 0px;\n\t\t\tmargin-right: 0px;\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 1272px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69e6f715f1025.box.block.full-width > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 0 !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 960px) {\n\t\t\t#id-69e6f715f1025 > .container > .content {\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-top: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-right: 30px;\n\t\t\t\t\/\/padding-bottom: 24px;\n\t\t\t\tpadding-left: 30px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>iSisters Technology Mentoring in Canada, which helps address the local needs for decent work and economic growth.
