The Philip Morris Employee Community Fund (PMECF) is the cornerstone of our employee giving efforts in Virginia and North Carolina.
The Fund is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization established in 2000 to provide employees with the opportunity to be more actively involved in helping those in need. Every dollar raised goes directly to support organizations serving people in need in our headquarters and plant communities of Richmond, Va., and Cabarrus County, N.C.
Since its inception, the PMECF has distributed 904 grants totaling more than $24 million to non-profit organizations in our headquarters and plant communities.
PM USA strives to foster an environment that supports its employees as they contribute their time, energy and commitment to neighbors, colleagues and communities.
In 2007, our employees logged more than 27,000 hours to volunteer service projects such as:
- Back to school shopping with the YMCA as part of their Bright Beginnings program
- Delivering meals to homebound seniors and volunteering at local food banks
- Coastal and inland waterways cleanups.
Through volunteerism, PM USA's employees have become a valued resource in their communities that help to improve the quality of life for others.
