Crane Composites, a subsidiary of Crane Company, recently presented 56 local nonprofit charitable organizations with donations from the Crane Fund for Widows and Children.
The company sponsored donations of $200,000 to local charities in 2024. Over the past five years, it has donated $775,000 to 214 organizations.
Philanthropy is part of the company’s legacy and culture of giving back to the communities where its associates live and work, it said. Each year, Crane Composites sponsors donation requests from associates at its sites in Channahon, Illinois; Bolingbrook, Illinois; Goshen, Indiana; Florence, Kentucky; and Jonesboro, Arizona.
Crane’s associates are also provided paid time off to volunteer during their normal workday to serve in their local communities.
“We are proud to be part of Crane and being able to give back to our communities with funds to support local charitable organizations and also through our volunteer efforts,” said President John O’Sullivan. “We are following the lead of our founder RT Crane and focusing on improving the communities in which we live and work and making a positive impact as well.”
Crane Company has been involved with charitable giving for many years through three company-administered charitable entities: The Crane Fund, The Crane Fund for Widows and Children, and the Crane Foundation. The Crane Funds makes contributions to charitable organizations that provide direct assistance to underserved populations in the communities where Crane Company operates. The fund touches the lives of many through its donations to local organizations, global relief agencies and school and scholarship funds in the United States and Canada, the company said.
