MGM Resorts Foundation donates almost $2m to nonprofit organisations
The MGM Resorts Foundation has awarded almost $2m in the form of 82 grants to nonprofit organisations located in US communities in which MGM Resorts operates.
This includes Southern Nevada, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Northeast Ohio, the DC Metropolitan area, and Western Massachusetts. Funding was awarded to organisations that provide basic needs services to community residents.
“Year after year we are amazed at the generosity of our employees and now guests,” said MGM Resorts International Executive Director of Community Engagement Maria Jose Gatti. “In 2022, MGM Resorts employees gave to 82 nonprofit organisations that serve the communities where we live and work.
“On behalf of our grant recipients, thank you to those who gave to the Community Grant Fund, providing vital assistance to our communities, including medical care, mental health counseling, food and shelter.”
The funds are the result of contributions made to the Community Grant Fund by MGM Resorts employees and guests, with grant decisions made by the company’s Community Grant Councils, a voluntary committee of employees who represent their respective regions.
“The MGM Resorts Foundation was established in 2002 as an opportunity for MGM Resorts employees to contribute to important charitable causes,” a statement from the group read. “Since inception, the Foundation has raised more than $100m and supported more than 1,500 charitable organisations.
“MGM Resorts is committed to strengthening the livelihood, capacity and resiliency of communities, developing sustainable institutions, supporting good jobs, promoting next generation skill development and collaborating with the public sector, policy makers, educators and nonprofit organisations.”
