Partnerships

Here are some of the ways we work to live up to our beliefs and Mission:

Common Good Partnerships

Common Good Partnerships allow us to work together toward shared goals with like-minded companies and organizations while affirming our respect for people, nature, and community.

	The Rivers Awareness Program draws attention to our nation's troubled rivers and watersheds and encourages people to volunteer in their own communities.
	Dental Health for All aims to increase access to dental care by supporting local community dental clinics and to improve oral health literacy.
	Bring Nature Home supports community gardening, herbal research, and a closer connection to nature.

Giving for Goodness Program

Philanthropic giving is a key component of our efforts to live our Mission. We give 10% of our pre-tax profits to nonprofit organizations benefiting the environment, human need, arts, and education. One of our most recent grants of note was a $500,000 grant to the Nature Conservancy toward the acquisition and preservation of 185,000 acres along the Upper St. John River in Maine, the largest free-flowing river east of the Mississippi.

Sponsorships

Our sponsorship program promotes important causes and work while contributing to the strategic goals of Tom's. Sponsorships integrate our dual interests: to profit while contributing to the common good. To find out more about how to submit a sponsorship to Tom's, click here.

Volunteerism

Corporate volunteerism is one key way that Tom's demonstrates support for the important work undertaken by nonprofit organizations. All employees are encouraged to use up to 5% of their paid work time to do volunteer work in nonprofit organizations of their choosing. Volunteer projects range from visiting a local nursing home to serving as a volunteer firefighter to serving spaghetti at a homeless shelter.
