Over the past 18 years, ExxonMobil Corp has donated
$30,000.00 to my squadron
to support my volunteer service hours and their
Individual Volunteer Involvement Program (VIP)
. Of these donations, $2,000 was used to support the start-up of the Pennsylvania Wing's 2015 STEM Academy.
Upon retirement from ExxonMobil, the process of finding funding sources in my company was made through the
Employee and Retiree Giving Programs (The Individual Volunteer Involvement Program).
VIP forms were sent to me to authenticate CAP’s 501(C) 3 status and for verification by CAP NHQ via our National Commander signature. Once the account was set up, my volunteer hours were reported to the company and verified by my squadron commander or Pennsylvania Wing Commander.
The feeling of pride associated with being a senior member in Civil Air Patrol comes in many ways. Having our volunteer hours financially honored by our employers contribute to CAP's mission successes. Our membership understands funding for CAP has been reduced over the years adding emphasis to our individual effort to explore funding opportunities offered by employers. I encourage you to share the link below with members and parents to search out these financial offerings in their own company.
