Praxair focuses its community support in the areas where it operates and further concentrates on four areas: community health; public libraries; higher education and diversity; and employee volunteerism. Employees participate in fund-raising walks, runs, bicycle rides and other activities to support numerous other health-related organizations in the communities where Praxair operates.
Praxair's "Library Links" program has funded a variety of needs at public libraries in 30 states. Among these projects are updating computer equipment, acquiring new reference materials; sponsoring summer reading programs and literacy courses, refurbishing meeting rooms.

Praxair Foundation
The Praxair Foundation supports non-profit organizations primarily in the communities where Praxair operates. The level of support varies depending upon the nature of the project and how closely it fits with Praxair Foundation guidelines.
Preference is given to supporting well-defined projects in the following areas:
* Community service, focused on:
a. Employee volunteer grants - Praxair employees may apply to the Foundation on behalf of the non-profit organizations to which they volunteer their time and talents
b. Health-related organizations and services
c. Public Libraries - through Praxair's "Library Links" program which assists libraries in upgrading their technology, acquiring new materials or initiating innovative programs
d. United Way - matching employee donations
All proposals should describe projects that serve the needs of the community at large. Special attention will be given to innovative programs that can be started and completed within one year of the award. Goals should be clearly defined and measurable. Organizations receiving $25,000 or more are required to submit a report on the project being funded by Praxair no later than one year after the grant is made.
