Ways We Support Our Communities Through Charitable Giving
Cash Grants
Saltchuk sets aside a portion of prior year earnings for cash grants. Half is pooled and distributed through our Regional Giving, and the other half through local giving efforts. Through Regional Giving Committees serving Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico, Saltchuk companies pool funds and collaborate to support youth development and post-secondary education initiatives.
Employee Match
Saltchuk companies are encouraged to offer programs that match employee personal giving. Included is a PAC-to-Charity Match program Saltchuk introduced in 2024 that provided $126,000 to 79 charities.
In-Kind Services
Our companies support nonprofit organizations in their communities with generous in-kind freight transportation programs. In Alaska and the Caribbean, significant in-kind transportation is provided for the transportation of recyclables
Volunteerism
Saltchuk companies support community engagement through various employee events. Some Saltchuk companies offer paid time off for volunteering, while others provide “Dollars for Doers” programs that donate to organizations where employees volunteer.
Our Regional Giving Program Supports Youth and Education
Regional Giving committees, comprised of company leaders in Alaska, Hawaii, the Western U.S., Florida, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean, pool resources to partner with 501(c)(3) organizations that provide youth development and post-secondary education programming.
