“These 10 community improvement projects are excellent examples of Fluor’s commitment to create sustainable communities wherever
our employees live and work,” said Torrence Robinson, senior director of Global Community Affairs and president of the Fluor
Foundation. “We feel these funds will help these organizations make significant strides in their missions to help those that are
less fortunate and help improve the quality of life of those they serve.”
In addition to the funding, each organization will receive support from Fluor volunteers to complete their projects, and at the
end of the year, a Best-in-Class project will be selected earning the organization an additional $10,000.
Started in 2012 and held every two years, Fluor’s Global Community Project Fund has enabled employees and partnering charitable
organizations to enrich the lives of 57,000 individuals in communities around the world.
