Alcoa Foundation
Alcoa Foundation is a nonprofit U.S. corporate foundation with assets of approximately US$542 million. Its mission is to actively invest in the quality of life in Alcoa communities worldwide. Throughout its history, Alcoa Foundation has invested in local community projects to be a source of positive community change and enhancement, with over US$465 million invested since 1952.
Alcoa Foundation and WOSM have developed a partnership focused on environment and sustainability education in Scouting. A two-year $US205,000 grant has supported the Environment Education Task Team in developing the World Scout Environment Programme. This grant also assisted environmental education activities at major events such as the World Scout Jamboree. In addition, five European countries (Germany, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom) are supported in further developing their environmental programmes. This partnership has been extended in 2008/09 with a $US50,000 grant to develop a leader training package to support the delivery of the World Scout Environment Programme.
