Community-Engagement

Überblick zum Community-Engagement

Delta’s mission to connect the world is grounded in our commitment to positively impact the communities where we live, work and serve. Making a difference through charitable giving, employee-driven fundraising and volunteerism has been core to our company and culture for nearly 100 years. We invest our time, skills and resources – through partnerships with local, national and global nonprofits and other strategically aligned organizations – to drive progress in pillars of focus: environment, equity, education and entire wellness.

Companies like Delta Air Lines set a model for others, showing how to best use employee talent, business assets and integration to create meaningful impact, and we’re thrilled to uplift and celebrate their work as an honoree of The Civic 50 2023.”
