Flint Ink Corporation employees and the Flint Ink Foundation together have donated more than $233,000 to the relief efforts following the tragic devastation of the December tsunamis. Flint Ink has extensive operations in the India/Pacific and Asian regions, and many of its employees and customers were in areas affected by the natural disasters.
This substantial contribution to the relief effort was the result of extraordinary generosity on the part of Flint Ink employees worldwide, the Flint Ink board of directors,and the Flint Ink Foundation. Immediately after the tsunamis took place, the Flint Ink Foundation announced it would make a $100,000 contribution to support the relief effort. In addition, the Foundation committed to matching, on a two-for-one basis, all employee contributions. For every dollar, euro, pound, peso, rupee or other monetary unit donated, Flint Ink Foundation contributed two more, thus tripling the amount of employee donations.
“As a Flint family member, I have always believed that our employees define the company,” said Ellen Price, chairperson of the Flint Ink Foundation. “We are proud and grateful to be connected to a worldwide group that has shown such exceptional generosity.”
Most of Flint Ink’s contributions were donated to the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF). The Foundation selected UNICEF because of its focus on bringing relief to children and also because of its international presence, which would allow Flint Ink employees worldwide to contribute to the coordinated effort. All of the $233,000 was raised in slightly more than four weeks.
The Flint Ink Foundation is a non-profit corporation supported primarily by contributions from Flint Ink Corporation. Its purpose is to contribute to the quality of life in the communities where its employees live, work and perform volunteer service.
