Bechtel Group Foundation was created in 1954 to respond to the needs of the communities around the world in which Bechtel has offices or major projects. In 2007, the Foundation made grants totaling $2 million to 257 nonprofit organizations in 12 countries. All grants are initiated internally by Bechtel’s office and project managers.
The Foundation has four giving programs:
- Building Positive Community Relationships Grants
These grants support educational, civic and cultural, and social service programs in the communities that host major Bechtel offices and projects. These grants are typically under US$5,000.
- Improving the Pipeline of Engineering & Construction Talent Grants
These grants are made as part of the company's support of university-level education. The grants provide scholarships and other support to business, technical, and engineering programs at universities worldwide.
- Bechtel Global Scholar Grants
Provide one-time scholarships of US$3,000 to the children of Bechtel employees worldwide.
- Matching Gift Grants
Offer a dollar-for-dollar match, up to US$1,000 annually, for the contributions employees make to U.S. universities.
