Reputation and Community

Our neighbors depend on us, just as we depend on them, so we are committed to improving the quality of life in the communities in which we work. At Southwire, this goes beyond providing jobs and paying taxes; it means supporting those in need with time, talent and financial resources. In 2024, Southwire celebrated 18 years since launching its 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Project GIFT. Between Project GIFT and other monetary efforts from Southwire, the company has shown a significant emphasis on Giving Back through inclusion-related efforts in the communities where our team members live and work. A focus on reputation and community ensures the organization is aligned with our commitment to be an employer of choice for all stakeholders. 

Creating Shared Value is at the Heart
of Our Commitment to Giving Back

Our neighbors depend on us, and we depend on them. That’s why creating shared value is at the heart of Southwire’s commitment to Giving Back. We take time to understand the needs of our communities and engage them to provide purposeful support. Along the way, we create value for Southwire by strengthening our relationships with team members, neighbors and future talent. Our charitable giving includes:
