Our Giving Criteria
Arts and Culture
The Foundation supports organizations in the areas of visual, performing and literary arts, public radio and television, libraries, museums, and related cultural activities.

Health and Social Services
Operating support for organizations in the health and social services category largely occurs in communities where Johnson Controls has a local presence and is directed through contributions to United Way.
Education and Arts Matching Gift Program
The Education and Arts Matching Gift Program provides Johnson Controls employees and retirees the opportunity to have their financial gifts to arts and higher learning institutions matched from the Foundation.
