3M Impact is a portfolio of skills-based volunteer service programs where 3Mers use their expertise to assist local nonprofit organizations or social enterprises to maximize their impact. According to Taproot Foundation, 92% of nonprofit organizations report a lack of critical resources. The 3M Impact program addresses this challenge by pairing teams of 3Mers with organizations in need of assistance overcoming a barrier or challenge in order to grow their services in the community.
3M Impact projects are designed to increase organizational effectiveness, build greater capacity for goods and services, and create long-lasting change for the partner organizations. 3M volunteers build cultural competence, spur innovative thinking, and develop as leaders.
3M Impact partners with organizations that align to 3M’s Strategic Sustainability Framework, advancing our commitments to Science for Circular, Science for Climate, and Science for Community. Organization participation is invitation only. Learn more about our implementation partners by visiting their websites directly – Taproot Foundation and PYXERA Global.
