Year in Review:
2012 Community Highlights
Rebuilding in Japan
Awarded a grant to Project Hope to rebuild key portions of the health infrastructure in Japan’s northern coastal town of Yamada. That town was submerged in the 2011 tsunami that destroyed the hospital and killed hundreds of people. The grant is the final part of a $1 million Medtronic commitment that includes product donations and grants supporting relief efforts, as well as the rebuilding of healthcare infrastructure.
Medtronic Community Councils
Employee-led Community Councils organized local volunteer and philanthropic efforts in 19 Medtronic locations worldwide. Collectively, the Councils awarded more than $2.7 million in grants in fiscal year 2012. Another $581,229 in volunteer grants were awarded to organizations where Medtronic employees donated more than 25 hours of time. More than 95 percent of Medtronic’s 40,000 employees make charitable donations, and nearly 75 percent volunteer.
