Tom's of Maine is particularly interested in projects related to the areas described below. Because the wholeness of the world is important to us, we favor projects that integrate two or more of these areas of concern. The Environment Animal welfare, protection and conservation of natural resources, wildlife, wildlife habitat and other issues related to biodiversity and a sustainable planet. Education Innovative educational programs for children and adults, especially projects that will foster understanding of the natural environment and encourage community outreach. We do not have a separate charitable foundation.
Larger grants are rare.
We appreciate project budgets with realistic and economical cost projections. We prefer projects that integrate our categories of giving and, where appropriate, that offer opportunities for participation by employees of Tom's of Maine. Our contributions may also be made in the form of product donations. Applications are not accepted from individuals or to support political organizations, candidates for political office, religious organizations or activities for sectarian purposes. Tom's of Maine does not fund organizations that support animal testing or that benefit such testing.
