Shell Oil Company Foundation
The Shell Oil Company Foundation, founded in 1953, is one of the nation's leading company-sponsored foundations.
The Foundation is managed by a board of directors and executive committee, composed of the president of Shell Oil Company and U.S. Country Chair, who serves as the president of the Foundation’s board, and by leaders of Shell Oil Company and its major U.S. businesses. The board of directors is responsible for allocating funds to Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable and educational institutions on an annual basis across clearly defined areas of focus.
During its more than 50-year existence, the Foundation has contributed upward of $500 million to help foster the general well-being of communities where Shell employees live and work. Contributions have enabled non-profit organizations to grow, encouraged arts and cultural areas to flourish, advanced medical research and sustainable development, helped children achieve academic success, trained teachers, and engendered opportunities for diversity and equal opportunity.
Funding activities for The Shell Oil Company Foundation are dedicated strictly to interests in the U.S.
