By: via Business Wire

Chevron today announced a donation of $250,000 to three community partners, Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, Team Rubicon and the Fuel Relief Fund, to support flood relief efforts in Central and West Texas.

  • Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country will receive $100,000 to support local organizations providing rescue, relief and recovery services.
  • Team Rubicon will receive $100,000 to assess damage, manage volunteers and prepare for large-scale debris removal in the impacted areas.
  • Fuel Relief Fund will receive $50,000 to supply fuel for volunteer equipment and assist displaced residents and emergency responders.

In addition to the donation, Chevron is introducing a 2:1 employee match contribution program, up to $250,000. This initiative allows Chevron to amplify its own employees’ giving to broaden its impact.

They are who make us all Texas strong, Texas proud.”

Chevron maintains a significant presence in Texas. With its corporate headquarters in Houston, the company also operates crude oil fields, a refinery, technical facilities and a network of pipeline assets throughout the state.
