Change CountryAbout Us Volunteer Activities
sharing time and talent
We recognize that volunteering provides an excellent opportunity to strengthen both our employees and our local communities. We’re very proud that our employees are generous with their time and energy for a variety of organizations.
Community Involvement Program
The Community Involvement Program (CIP) is a dedicated, collaborative, and highly visible employee effort that brings together a diverse group of volunteers focused on strengthening our local communities. For more than 25 years, the program has allowed employees to select from the guidelines set by the Johnson Controls Foundation. Our employees volunteer nearly 120,000 hours annually in the CIP.
United Negro College Fund
As a long-time supporter of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), Johnson Controls and its employees regularly participate in UNCF fundraisers, including an annual walk/run where our employees comprise one of the largest participant and contributor groups.
Hunger Task Force
Johnson Controls has partnered with the Hunger Task Force, an organization that helps feed the hungry in the greater Milwaukee area for a number of years. Employees donate time and resources to the organization through workplace fundraisers and food drives. Johnson Controls also supports Hunger Task Force through sponsorship of the organization’s signature food drive, Food for Families. The company has also supported “Stomp Out Hunger Day” at Milwaukee’s Summerfest.
Cornerstone Schools
Cornerstone Schools is a private organization that provides students with a year-round alternative education on five campuses in the Detroit area to which Johnson Controls has been a long-time financial contributor. Our African American Affinity Network (AAAN) is actively involved in the organization and employees serve as student mentors.
Milwaukee Holiday Parade
In 2003, the Milwaukee community’s beloved Holiday Parade was near permanent cancellation after 76 years, due to a lack of funding. A donation from Johnson Controls allowed the annual tradition to continue that year and every year since then. The Holiday Parade brings together thousands of Milwaukee residents and their families while donating non-perishable food items to Hunger Task Force through the Food for Families campaign. Johnson Controls employees also are committed participants, volunteering nearly 1,000 hours annually to the Holiday Parade.
Discovery World
Johnson Controls donated a $3 million grant towards the development of Discovery World, a children’s exploration museum. That money sponsored the development of Discovery World’s largest exhibit, Johnson Control’s TechnoJungle: The Hunt for the Next Great Idea, an interactive exhibit that opens creative minds to the potential of tomorrow. The exhibit presents real- world ingenuity in a stimulating technological environment based on current Johnson Controls business unit applications.
