Disaster Relief
American Red Cross Commitments: Raytheon has committed $1 million over five years to the American Red Cross as part of its Annual Disaster Giving Program (ADGP). Membership in the ADGP helps secure a reliable funding base for disaster relief services, so the American Red Cross can focus on responding immediately to the needs of individuals and families affected by disaster.

Raytheon Employee Disaster Relief Fund: In addition to general disaster relief, we provide specific assistance to alleviate hardships faced by employees as a result of catastrophic events.

Support for the Armed Forces
Fund in Support of Our Troops: The Fund in Support of Our Troops is a giving initiative co-funded by Raytheon and our employees. Grants are disbursed from the fund to help meet the needs of American troops in all military branches and their families. In 2006, Raytheon’s Fund in Support of Our Troops added the United Service Organizations and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation to its list of grant recipients. The list now includes:

– Air Force Aid Society
– Army Emergency Relief Fund
– Coast Guard Mutual Assistance Organization
– Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
– Special Operations Warrior Foundation
– United Service Organizations
– Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation

Other Initiatives to Support Service Members and Their Families: Our Raytheon culture has enormous respect for military service. A number of our employees are reservists on active duty, and many others are veterans, as were generations of Raytheon employees before them. Our employees enthusiastically support initiatives that acknowledge the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform. In 2006, employees in California and Texas collaborated on the “Toy Express,” a holiday toy distribution program to benefit the children of deployed servicemen and women. As a result, hundreds of toys and bicycles were distributed to service members’ children, and many more were donated to nonprofit organizations ranging from the Airmen and Family Readiness Center at the Los Angeles Air Force Base to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves Toys for Tots campaign.
