ExxonMobil Giving

STEM talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t.   Today, fewer than 10% of graduates from underserved high schools complete STEM degrees within six years, even as STEM jobs continue to grow at a rapid pace.   Next week at SXSW EDU, our very own ExxonMobil Foundation President Alvin Abraham will be joining several of our long-time education partners, including the University of Houston College of Education, Khan Academy and KIPP Texas Public Schools, to talk about how our collaboration can help close that gap and strengthen pathways from classroom to career.   If you’ll be in Austin on March 11, we’d love to see you there! 🔗 Session details: https://lnkd.in/gnKtEkYE

Yesterday in Guyana, ExxonMobil leaders joined President Irfaan Ali to mark the beginning of a major commitment to STEM education. We announced the Guyana STEM Initiative (GSI) — a $100 million, 10‑year ExxonMobil investment, delivered through the ExxonMobil Foundation, that will strengthen the STEM talent pipeline across the country. Through GSI, we will: 🔹 Expand hands-on, engaging STEM programs for students 🔹 Provide training and support for math and science teachers 🔹 Strengthen STEM college and career pathways 🔹 Establish the country’s first STEM Center in 2029 We’re building on the early results of the Foundation’s key STEM initiatives in Texas aimed at unlocking opportunities for talented students who lack access. We’re working hand-in-hand with the Government of Guyana by bringing our know-how and passion for STEM education to support Guyana’s continued growth and prosperous future.

Last weekend, we kicked off the first Be Well™ Beaumont Day at Lamar University, welcoming families from across Southeast Texas for a free, fun day focused on movement, learning and wellness. Big thanks to MD Anderson Cancer Center, Gift of Life, Lamar University and our many community partners for making wellness accessible to families across Southeast Texas in the fight against cancer. Beaumont has been home to ExxonMobil for more than 120 years and we’re committed to supporting a healthier future here. Our 10-year, $10 million grant to MD Anderson helps bring trusted resources like cancer prevention, nutrition tips and healthy-living programs directly to local families.

Hardworking families are at the heart of the Permian. That’s why ExxonMobil is investing in local hunger‑relief efforts with the West Texas Food Bank to support our neighbors.  

The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women is doing incredible work and it’s an honor to support female entrepreneurs like Bosede Laide Akindele as they create lasting impact in their communities. The ExxonMobil Foundation’s investment has helped to scale the Road to Growth program in Nigeria and Guyana. In Bosede’s home country of Nigeria alone, over 22,500 participants have completed the program—75% of these women increased savings and 51% boosted their business revenues. Across both countries, the initiative drives financial inclusion, business growth and socio-economic development.

As the 2025 Conference of National Black Churches (CNBC)/Institute of Church Administration and Management-ICAM Consultation wraps up, we celebrate a week of meaningful exchange and dialogue. ExxonMobil was thrilled to sponsor this year’s event and connect with faith leaders from across the United States. We were also able to share how we’re working to solve the “and” equation – providing the energy that makes modern living possible while reducing emissions. In her keynote, Integrated Operations Manager Regina Davis emphasized how we prioritize safety and care for our communities wherever we operate: “ExxonMobil is one of the world’s largest energy providers and chemical manufacturers. But more importantly, we are neighbors. Our employees live, worship and serve in the same communities where we gather today. We are committed to being responsible operators, good listeners and active partners in building a more equitable future.” Our work with #CNBC reflects this commitment through initiatives including: 💜 STEM camps hosted at CNBC churches across ExxonMobil Baton Rouge, ExxonMobil Baytown Area and ExxonMobil Beaumont: https://lnkd.in/g7xA8Bn9 💜 Energy Fundamentals Training for pastors across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi We’re proud to work with organizations like CNBC to deliver impactful programs that make a difference in our communities.

The ExxonMobil Foundation is proud to partner with the University of Houston College of Education as we open applications for the second cohort of the UH STELLAR Program! UH STELLAR is a one-year, research-based professional development program designed for middle school #STEM teachers at Title I campuses in KIPP Texas Public Schools (Houston), Houston ISD and Spring ISD.
