As part of its latest charitable contributions, The UPS Foundation extended its partnership with the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) to support its Paving Access to Veterans Employment (PAVE) initiative. The agreement includes more than $1 million in cash and in-kind support over three years, beginning in 2016. Funding provides job search and reintegration resources for paralyzed service members, and support for the annual National Veterans Wheelchair Games and awards dinner.
UPS's continued dedication to the PVA and its PAVE program reinforces and supplements its own commitment to veterans as the company plans to hire 50,000 veterans by the end of 2018.
"We are honored to partner with organizations who are at the frontline every day advancing the values of diversity, inclusion, personal dignity and professional development, especially when these programs leverage our people and company expertise," said Eduardo Martinez, president of The UPS Foundation and chief diversity and inclusion officer at UPS. "Our nearly three-decade-long partnership with the PVA has given our employees the opportunity to volunteer with the PVA's National Veterans Wheelchair Games and to forge personal relationships with servicemen and women."
Martinez recently assumed the role of chief diversity & inclusion officer for UPS. In this expanded role, Martinez will help to develop, integrate and oversee the execution of programs at UPS as one of the largest private employers in the world. He will continue his role as the president of The UPS Foundation.
The UPS Foundation continues its long-time funding of organizations that promote diversity, inclusion and advancement around the world, including the following 36 grants for 2015:
Economic Empowerment
Education
Inclusion
Mentorship
