Earlier this week, PPG announced a $20 million commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion from 2020-2025 through the PPG Foundation.
Today, we welcome Malesia Dunn, Executive Director of the PPG Foundation, and Marvin Mendoza, global head of diversity, equity and inclusion at PPG Industries, to tell us how the multi-million dollar investment will build upon PPG’s efforts to address systemic racism.
According to PPG, the funding will primarily support educational pathways for Black communities and people of color, including scholarships, hands-on STEM experiences, an increase in its Colorful Communities projects that support diverse communities and more. Approximately 25% of the funding will be allocated toward organizations serving Pittsburgh.
