Johnson Controls Foundation

The Johnson Controls Foundation provides ﬁnancial gifts to select U.S.-based organizations that support the arts, education, social services and the environment and are located in the communities in which the company has a presence. Each year, the Foundation distributes grants of more than $6 million, on average, to a variety of organizations throughout the U.S.

Administered by an advisory board, the Foundation further supports those charities and non-proﬁts close to the hearts of Johnson Controls employees via the Matching Gifts Program. Current employees, retirees and members of the Board of Directors of Johnson Controls can supplement their personal contributions to organizations in the areas of art/culture and education with a matching donation from the Foundation. Gift perimeters are simple – the Johnson Controls Foundation will match donations at a minimum level of $50 to a maximum of $5,000 per individual, per organization, per year.
