Enterprise Mobility Commits Over $200 Million for Community Support
Funding for the Fill Your Tank program and ROAD Forward initiative reaffirms long-standing commitment to fostering healthy, thriving communities.
Today, Enterprise Mobility announced an ambitious commitment of over $200 million to tackle food insecurity and advance social equity. This funding will bolster efforts through its innovative initiatives known as the Fill Your Tank program and ROAD Forward. The contributions aim to enhance the quality of life in communities where Enterprise Mobility operates by supporting local nonprofit organizations and essential partners.
Historical Commitment to Community Development
"From our first days in business, we have been deeply committed to fostering healthy, thriving communities in the places where our team members live and work," said Chrissy Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise Mobility. This significant investment extends a legacy of support, enabling the company to address critical issues such as hunger, while also promoting education, health and wellness, and career preparation for youth and young adults.
By 2030, the combined contributions through the Fill Your Tank program and ROAD Forward will exceed $375 million, encompassing grants from Enterprise Mobility's operating groups and the Enterprise Mobility Foundation.
Initiatives to Combat Hunger and Promote Equity
The Fill Your Tank program, which debuted in 2016, was established to combat food insecurity and work towards a future devoid of hunger. By the year 2030, the program is projected to allocate more than $210 million to key partners, local food banks, and food programs across the 70+ operating groups of Enterprise Mobility. This initiative has already awarded grants to over 670 local organizations, helping alleviate hunger in countless communities.
Notable partners in this endeavor include Feeding America in the U.S., Food Banks Canada, and the Global FoodBanking Network, which supports nonprofits in several European countries, including France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, and the U.K.
ROAD Forward Initiative's Focus on Social Equity
Launched in 2020, the ROAD Forward initiative is designed to support organizations that aim to close social equity gaps in the areas where Enterprise Mobility operates. By 2030, nearly $165 million will be directed towards local nonprofits and key partners to enhance early childhood development, promote youth health and wellness, and facilitate career and college preparation. Since its launch, the ROAD Forward initiative has positively impacted over 1,000 local organizations in various communities.
This initiative collaborates with partners like My Brother's Keeper Alliance, UNCF, Girls Inc., and Parents as Teachers. New partnerships, such as with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, are also being formed to broaden impact.
Empowering Community Members
Selecting local nonprofits for both the Fill Your Tank and ROAD Forward initiatives is a collaborative effort that empowers Enterprise Mobility team members to identify organizations best suited to tackle hunger and address social equity challenges in their neighborhoods.
Carolyn Kindle, President of the Enterprise Mobility Foundation, expressed enthusiasm about the investment, stating, "Through our latest initiative, we're reinforcing our core value to strengthen communities. It has been inspiring to witness the transformative impact of these programs, and we are excited to continue building on this momentum."
Overall, Enterprise Mobility has seen over half a billion dollars donated to charitable causes globally through its operating branches and the Enterprise Mobility Foundation. The organization is committed to responding effectively to challenges like hunger and social inequity through local grants, volunteer efforts, and employee contributions.
