Person 2 Person today announced it received a $15,000 grant as part of Newell Brands Local Impact Grant Program (LIGP), an initiative powered by the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation. Newell Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: NWL) is a leading global consumer goods company with a portfolio of over 50 iconic brands including Rubbermaid®, Sharpie®, Graco®, Yankee Candle®, Oster®, Coleman® and more.
As a first-time LIGP recipient, the organization will use this funding to support direct program costs within the Critical Needs Assistance Program, ensuring low-income families in Fairfield County can access essential support, food, clothing and financial assistance during times of crisis.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation in advancing our work to support families and individuals as they move toward stability with healthy food, clothing, housing assistance, and a path to economic opportunity,” said Nancy Coughlin, Person to Person CEO. “This grant empowers us to make a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of people across lower Fairfield County. We truly appreciate Newell’s commitment to Person 2 Person and their support and trust in our ability to execute this important work.”
In 2019, Newell Brands and the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation launched the Local Impact Grant Program, which aims to better the communities where Newell Brands operates and where its employees live. The program invites Newell employees to nominate and vote for local nonprofits to receive grants, supporting the causes that matter most to them, fostering deeper community connections and reinforcing the company’s commitment to positive and meaningful impact.
“The Newell Brands Charitable Foundation is proud to support organizations like Person 2 Person that are driving meaningful and positive change in their communities,” said Christina Moylan, Director, Corporate Philanthropy at Newell Brands. “Their work aligns with our company’s values and ongoing commitment to supporting the communities where
we operate and live. We’re excited to contribute to the advancement of their vital mission.”
The partnership underscores Newell’s investment in the communities it serves, enabling Person 2 Person to continue and strengthen its work.
