Sponsorship and Donation Guidelines and Application Form
Healthy, thriving communities depend on involved citizens, organizations and corporate partners for
momentum. Every community has its own challenges, and we strive always to be part of problem-
solving initiatives.
These guidelines outline the programs that Waste Management is likely to support:
Environment - The environment affects all aspects of our lives, from the air we breathe, to
the way we power our homes, to the parklands in which we play. Waste Management is
committed to helping provide renewable resources to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels,
and to conserving and maintaining wetlands, wildlife habitats and green spaces for people's
enjoyment. Understanding the importance of the environment, Waste Management supports
organizations and programs that preserve and/or enhance natural resources.
Environmental Education - The key to ensuring the preservation of the environment is learning
about the importance of protecting it and acting in an environmentally responsible manner. To
this end, Waste Management prefers to support environmental education programs
targeted at middle and high school students. This includes environmental and science
related projects, science fairs, Earth Day projects and others.
Causes important to the areas where we operate - Waste Management is committed to
enhancing our communities through programs that help make them cleaner and better places
to live. Local Waste Management facilities are proactive in identifying charities located in
the immediate community that they serve and may have predetermined which
organizations they will be supporting that year.
WM Preferences
The Waste Management Charitable Contributions program provides support to organizations that have
been approved by the IRS as a 501(c) 3 charity and public organizations where any donations requested
will be used exclusively for public purposes. We target our support to specific projects or programs
that enhance the scope of services offered by an organization. WM prefers not to financially support
operating costs, capital campaigns, or multi-year requests. Preference is also given to
organizations that have a broad base of funders and employee volunteerism.

Requests from organizations without a 501(c)3 tax-exempt status or do not use funds received
