The foundation granted financial assistance to the following organizations: Shalom Center, Kenosha, WI; River Bend Nature Center Inc., Racine, WI; St. Thomas More High School, Milwaukee, WI; Florentine Opera Company, Milwaukee, WI; and the Racine Family YMCA, Racine, WI.
"As the mission of the foundation states, we strive to aid in the development of strong, vibrant communities," says Tom Burke, Modine's Chief Executive Officer. "Through financial contributions and employee volunteerism, we make a conscientious effort to positively impact the communities in which our employees live and work."
In addition to the grant contributions, the foundation made financial donations in honor of 52 Modine employees, each of whom volunteered over 25 hours with a charitable organization of their choice in 2015. Together, these employees volunteered over 2,500 hours throughout the United States.
"Modine's Volunteer Program is designed to recognize the efforts of Modine employees who strive to make our communities a better place to live and work by volunteering," says Burke.
Formed in 1995, the Modine Manufacturing Company Foundation has a history of giving back to local communities through the financial support of the foundation and volunteer commitment of its employees. Through direct grants, the foundation creatively and thoughtfully acts as a champion for the communities in which Modine operates. In honor of Modine's 100th anniversary, the foundation has chosen to focus its grant activity on the broad theme of Education for the remainder of 2016.
