“Our collaboration with NFWF is a shining example of FedEx Cares in action,” said Jenny Robertson, director of Citizenship and Reputation Management at FedEx. “A significant portion of our operations, people and facilities are based in metropolitan centers, and our team members have always valued helping to create positive change and making their hometowns cleaner, healthier and more sustainable.”

FedEx Cares is the company’s new global giving platform through which FedEx will invest $200 million in more than 200 global communities by 2020 to create opportunities and deliver positive change.

“The FedEx relationship supports efforts in cities throughout the nation to enhance habitat for wildlife, people and future generations,” said Jeff Trandahl, executive director and chief executive officer of NFWF. “Since 2009, FedEx has supported 107 projects through this relationship, and hundreds of FedEx employees have volunteered each year to assist in completing many of these conservation efforts. This remarkable track record shows a deep commitment to community stewardship of local natural resources.”

Restoring endangered forest habitat in Oregon

Paddling the Mystic River in Massachusetts to remove invasive plants
