Cash for Cans
One program that gives back to local communities is the Cash for Cans
Program. This program enables community groups, schools and individuals
to collect aluminium cans in exchange for cash. The Cash for Cans program
has been running for many years in Australia and has been instrumental
in raising millions of dollars for charity organisations.
Alcoa Foundation
Another community program that has been created worldwide is the Alcoa
Foundation. This foundation gave grants of over $17.9 million in 1999
alone to many global communities. Its focus is to provide small grants
for purchasing essential equipment to make communities safer, including
funding for emergency and rescue equipment, safety and emergency training,
and disaster relief.
