Teams at IDEX business units across the United States now have expanded opportunities to volunteer locally as part of a new partnership between Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the IDEX Foundation, the charitable giving extension of IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX). The national partnership is an outgrowth of successful relationships various IDEX business units have had with local Clubs for years.
The partnership, which includes financial support and opportunities for volunteerism at local Clubs, results from the IDEX Foundation adding “Equity & Opportunity” – creating opportunities for under-served, disadvantaged people of color in our communities – as an additional charitable pillar earlier this year.
“IDEX teams regularly perform volunteer work through local charities that impact their communities, with financial support from the IDEX Foundation. This new partnership will provide tailor-made opportunities to do even more through the amazing work done every day at Clubs in the communities where we live and work,” said Derrick Goddard, president of the IDEX Foundation.
The IDEX Foundation’s decision to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of America nationally fits with the organization’s mission to help empower young people to reach their full potential. Clubs are located near every IDEX business unit in the United States.
