For the sixth consecutive year, UPS has set a new record for United Way giving. In 2005, UPS pledged more than $57.4 million, topping all previous records for United Way giving by a U.S. corporation.
This year's support, based on giving from employees and the company through The UPS Foundation, surpasses the previous record donation set by UPS in 2004. UPS was the first company to exceed the $50 million mark in one annual campaign when it donated $52.2 million in 2001, and the giving has continued to grow since.
"UPS, its employees and retirees continue to raise the bar each year with their extensive engagement in communities around the country," said Brian Gallagher, president and CEO of United Way of America. "Their generosity and commitment to making a difference starts at the local level. With this kind of dedication and participation, it is no surprise they are ranked #1 by Fortune magazine for social responsibility."
