• Through Williams’ Homegrown Giving, employee volunteers directed nearly $500,000 in grants to nonprofits they serve, while employees and retirees received $1.7 in Williams’ Matching Grants to support their organizations
• $14.4 million was provided by Williams in the form of total grants, gifts and matching grants
• $6 million was contributed to local United Ways
