The UPS Foundation

In June 2004, The UPS Foundation and WAGGGS began a partnership to develop, or in some cases expand, volunteer opportunities or promote knowledge sharing of three of its member organizations – Guías de Mexico, Girl Guides of Malaysia and Hong Kong Girl Guides.

UPS provided the World Bureau of WAGGGS a three-year grant to: increase awareness and engagement in volunteering; increase capacity to recruit, train and manage volunteers to enhance or expand services; and create a successful model that can be replicated in other countries. 

Together, UPS and WAGGGS have achieved significant results to date. This includes growing the number of new members by the tens of thousands in Mexico and Malaysia, providing volunteer trainings and supporting 160 new service projects in the three focus countries.   

Founded in 1951 and based in Atlanta, Georgia, The UPS Foundation identifies specific areas where its support will clearly impact social issues. The UPS Foundation’s major initiatives currently include programs that support increased global volunteerism, literacy and hunger relief. In 2005, The UPS Foundation donated $43.8 million to charitable organizations worldwide.
