Employee Involvement

Employees of Altria Group and its companies are actively involved in their communities, working to help improve the quality of life. Employees are encouraged to contribute their time and financial support to important causes and to participate in the company's employee giving programs for local organizations. 

The Employee Community Fund

The Employee Community Fund was established by Philip Morris USA, an operating company of Altria Group, in 2000 because employees wanted to be more actively involved in helping local communities. The Fund is a workplace-giving program administered and managed directly by employees. 

Altria Group makes an annual contribution to the Employee Community Fund and also pays for the Fund's administrative costs. This ensures that every employee dollar raised goes directly to support non-profit organizations in the local communities.

Employee Volunteerism

On a regular basis, the employees of Altria Group's companies are personally involved in projects that help meet basic human needs. They support innovative programs that produce powerful results. Through volunteerism, employees have become a valued resource in their communities that help improve the quality of life for others.

Matching Gifts and Dollars for Doers

Through Matching Gifts and Dollars for Doers programs, Altria Group and its companies' employees again demonstrated their spirit, compassion and generosity in 2007. They volunteered their personal time, and Altria Group matched more than $2.4 million that was contributed to national and local not-for-profit organizations.
