Parker strives to strengthen communities through the practice of volunteering and charitable giving, which is central to the company’s culture. With many manufacturing facilities located in rural areas, Parker values its long-standing relationships with local organizations and community leaders.

Each year Parker team members around the world generously contribute thousands of volunteer hours by serving on the board of directors at non-profit organizations, setting up food drives, working in soup kitchens and finding other meaningful ways to support their communities. To provide critical support in times of need following a catastrophic event, Parker’s Disaster Relief Program is designed to rapidly distribute funds to team members and their families who have been impacted by a disaster. To strengthen the recovery process throughout an affected region, Parker also established a collaborative program with the American Red Cross through which every dollar donated by a Parker team member is matched by the Parker Hannifin Foundation.

Each year the Parker Hannifin Foundation donates more than $6 million to hundreds of charitable organizations with a focus on communities in need, education, disaster relief and energy and water conservation. Giving includes matching donations made by Parker team members, as well as contributions directly to organizations. With matching contributions from the Parker Hannifin Foundation, each year Parker team members donate close to $1 million to support dozens of local United Ways across the United States.
