 The Shell Foundation - Guidelines For Aid


 

 

The Shell Foundation supports specific projects in the areas of education, environment and health and welfare. The Endowment Group is particularly interested in projects that meet important community needs and have demonstrable community and corporate benefits.

Proposals which target and/or involve youth development will be considered favorable. Each request will be considered on its merits against the following key criteria:

  • Does the proposal provide sustainable solutions to community problems (rather than being used as short-term relief)?
  • Does the proposal relate to Shell's business interests, target audiences and geographical areas of operation?
  • Is the proposal consistent with Shell's corporate values?
  • Does the proposal provide good opportunities for recognition of Shell's support?
  • Does the proposal provide opportunities for Shell employee volunteer involvement?
  • Will the proposal attract broad community support?
  • Will the funding be allocated for specific activities or projects (rather than general administration costs)?
