Kimberly-Clark has a long-standing commitment to supporting children and families worldwide. We improve health and hygiene through our products and help change lives through our charitable work.

Our company, our employees around the world and the K-C Foundation contribute to good causes financially, through product donations and by volunteering their own time.

Our giving strategy

We focus our charitable support on causes that strengthen the world’s families, the communities where we operate and the environment. This is where we believe we can and should make the most difference. By donating company and employee money and time, we help improve the quality of life for the people around us. We also raise money through social marketing initiatives that involve our customers and consumers.

Our corporate community investment is channeled through the K-C Foundation. In addition to contributing to a host of global charitable causes, the foundation matches donations of up to $10,000 per employee in the U.S.

In 2007, K-C and our employees donated a total of $21.6 million in cash and product to causes worldwide. This includes $1.2 million given to match donations made by our employees and nearly $1 million to match time volunteered by our employees.
