Charitable giving is just one of several ways in which Dow demonstrates good corporate citizenship.

This reserve will enable the Foundation to maintain its level of giving in varying economic conditions, as well as provide flexibility to respond to unforeseen needs, such as the recent Tsunami, US Gulf Coast hurricanes and the South Asia earthquake.

By giving the public a rich and full melody, distinctly arranged and well played, all the time creating new tone colors and patterns, I feel we have a better chance of being successful. I want a kick to my band, but I don't want the rhythm to hog the spotlight.

We are giving the families all the support we can.

It's nice just to see the kids giving and not expecting to get something back except a good feeling in their heart.

We are pleased to make this donation to help re-establish and strengthen the Foundation's funding reserves, which have been drawn down in recent years due to the challenging economic environment.
