Forces for Good 2024 Results Are Out Now
One by one, we all have the power to be a Force for Good.
Take a glimpse at Forces for Good 2023.
One by one, we C.A.R.E. for all! This year, the Massy Forces for Good initiative will once again commit to funding impactful projects implemented by charitable organizations. To continue to celebrate 100+ years of Massy, we invite our Massy community to continue to fulfill our legacy of love, care and responsibility. A project that you nominate in categories aligned with specific UN-developed sustainable development goals could win a grant.
C.A.R.E. is the way in which Massy lives out ESG in our culture, as a legacy of our values of responsibility, love & care.
Responsibility to our Environment
Do you have an idea for a project? Is a similar project already happening in your community? In order to get you started, here are some examples of projects that meet the noted criteria.
Food security is about ensuring that all people have access to nutritious food at all times that meets their needs for a healthy life. This goal aims to end world hunger, improve diets, and promote farming that respects people and the land.
A farming project that recycles material in order to allow for growing fruits and vegetables in a city environment.
This goal ensures that everyone — whether children, teenagers, or adults — can all have access to quality learning in order to improve their lives.
A project that promotes literacy for adults, or a project that teaches design thinking to children in order to help them approach problems in a thoughtful way.
This goal ensures that everyone, at all ages, is able to enjoy a healthy life and a feeling of well-being.
A project that funds care for children with cancer, and support for their families.
This goal is about ensuring that all people are employed in a way that helps them to better themselves and the world around them for future generations.
A project that helps migrants to learn skills in order to become successful entrepreneurs. Another example of a successful, Massy-funded project is NUDGE, which provides training and retail access to small, mindful businesses.
This goal aims to build infrastructure (for example, buildings, road, power), in a way that contributes to development without harming people, the land, or future generations. It also aims to ensure that a country can innovate — that a country can come up with new ideas or technology to benefit its people and environment.
A project that promotes solar panel installation to power workplaces, or that employs innovative ways to deal with waste management.
In 2024, US$450,000 will be disbursed.
