Contribution Guidelines

Program Areas

Norco Manufacturing Complex will consider charitable contributions to eligible non-profit organizations for select programs that fall within our focused areas of contributions:

Education – We support our local school district, with a primary focus on Destrehan High School, Harry Hurst Middle School and Norco Elementary School for a variety of educational initiatives.   We pay special attention to K-12 programs that boost math and science skills and prepare future industry workforce for both engineering and technical programs.  

Workforce Development – The need for skilled technical workers continues to play a critical role in our industry’s success, and NMC seeks to help upskill potential workers.

Environment & Biodiversity – Protecting the environment is a top priority of our site and our employees.   As part of this commitment, we support local projects that promote environmental stewardship, including wildlife conservation and/or habitat projects.

Civic & Community Need – We focus our civic and community needs support primarily in the town of Norco and St. Charles Parish.  We fund projects ranging from area-wide business and economic development initiatives to local neighborhood efforts.

Eligibility Criteria

The Norco Manufacturing Complex supports a wide range of charitable organizations that are tax-exempt in the United States under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. However, we will not consider contributions for the following purposes:

  • Individuals
  • Private foundations
  • Non-profit organizations without a current 501(c)(3) exempt status
  • Conferences, workshops or seminars not directly related to Shell business interests
  • Religious organizations that do not serve the general public on a non-denominational basis

The Norco Manufacturing Complex reviews unsolicited proposals on a regular basis, but due to the large volume of requests that we receive, we cannot fund every proposal.
