Our neighbors depend on us, just as we depend on them, so we are committed to improving the quality of life in the communities in which we work. At Southwire, this goes beyond providing jobs and paying taxes; it means supporting those in need with time, talent and financial resources.

Our Approach

We enthusiastically share our time, talent, and financial resources to help uplift those in need. Our goal is to enable and engage our workforce to build more sustainable communities. Through volunteerism, community partnerships, and charitable giving, we are bringing this goal to life. 

25,440 volunteer hours contributed by Project GIFT® volunteers in 2024 

$1M distributed to team members in need through the POWER Fund 

30,000 bags of school supplies donated to students across North America 

$10,000 SkillPointe scholarships awarded to 10 graduates of the 12 for Life® program  


Creating shared value is at the heart of our commitment to Giving Back

Our neighbors depend on us, and we depend on them. That’s why creating shared value is at the heart of Southwire’s commitment to Giving Back. We take time to understand the needs of our communities and engage them to provide purposeful support. Along the way, we create value for Southwire by strengthening our relationships with team members, neighbors, and future talent. Our charitable giving includes: 

Giving Back

Engage 100%
of Southwire's Giving Back communities in at least two annual Giving Back events by 2025.

(This should include one Southwire signature event and one event that aligns with Southwire's Giving Back strands).

Progress: Reached 92% engagement in 2024.

Taking Care of the People Behind the Power™ with the POWER Fund

The POWER Fund remains focused on taking care of Southwire team members faced with emergency circumstances outside of their control.

In 2024, the POWER Fund distributed $1M to team members facing hardship. Among other circumstances, these funds supported team members dealing with a serious illness or injury, the effects of a natural disaster, and an immediate family member’s loss of life.

Fostering a Culture of Service Through Project GIFT®

Walk for Water

Through our partnership with Walk for Water, team members raise awareness of the distance many people walk to meet their daily water needs. The international nonprofit—which we have previously supported through charitable donations—is dedicated to ending the global water crisis by developing sustainable and safe water, sanitation and hygiene solutions.

Dollars for Doers

Our Dollars for Doers program is available to team members worldwide and enables them to give how and where they want. Team members can earn credit for their volunteer hours or personal charitable donations, which they may redeem to the eligible charity of their choice.

Supporting Veterans

Through our ongoing partnership with Wounded Warrior Project, Inc.®, Southwire supports The Warrior Classic as a collaboration between the Atlanta Braves Foundation, Southwire’s Veterans Network and Project GIFT® volunteers.
