GE employees around the world donated a total of $3.8 million
to the Red Cross/Red Crescent and UNICEF for tsunami relief
efforts, which was matched by the GE Foundation and augmented
by an additional $1.1 million in grants. GE donated more than
$10 million in equipment and services, including two water purifi-
cation systems to Indonesia that have the capacity to provide
potable water for tens of thousands of people daily. Two tele-
thons hosted by NBC Universal on its television stations and its
broadcast and cable platforms raised approximately $32 million.
In total, the GE family donated more than $19 million and helped
raise millions more.
The GE family continued its strategic philanthropic efforts
as well. We completed the first year of a five-year, $20 million
project to improve the infrastructure of hospitals and clinics in
Africa with donations of healthcare and power generation
equipment, water filtration systems, appliances and lighting.
The GE Foundation invested in improving the equity and
quality of and access to education with a total of $52 million in
grants worldwide. Many of those efforts were bolstered by the
work of GE volunteers.
In 2004, contributions from the GE Foundation, GE businesses,
and employees and retirees totaled over $150 million and more
than one million volunteer hours for key community initiatives.
GE was honored to receive broad recognition for our citizen-
ship initiatives. GE received the Catalyst Award for excellence in
developing and promoting women, and the Executive Leadership
Council Award for excellence in our work with African-American
employees. And GE was added to the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index, joining a highly selective group of companies representing
the top 10% in 60 industry groups across 34 countries chosen
for their environmental, social and economic programs.
Your Company has a long history of supporting the communities
where we work and live through GE’s unique combination of
resources, equipment, and employees’ and retirees’ heart and soul.
Today our responsibility extends to communities around the world.
The GE family reacted quickly to respond to the needs of thousands
of survivors after the tsunami tragedy in South Asia.
