The Kimball International-Habig Foundation, which represents Kimball International, Inc., was established in 1951 in Indiana and is funded by a percentage of profit earnings of the company. In keeping with our corporate philosophy and Guiding Principles, Kimball International is committed to helping the communities in which we operate to become even better places to live.
Supporting that goal, The Kimball International-Habig Foundation focuses its funding and resources on grants to organizations and programs that most directly benefit those U.S. communities in which Kimball has operations or facilities, or from which it draws employees.
In most of these small, rural communities, Kimball is the major (or in some cases, the only) source of significant charitable contributions to support health and human services, education, religious institutions, arts and culture, and civic and community programs that benefit the elderly, the disabled, children, schools, community centers and critical services such as local volunteer fire departments. The Kimball International-Habig Foundation focuses on five categories:
- Education (pre-school, elementary, high school and university levels)
- Health & Human Services
- Civic & Community Programs
- Arts & Culture
- Religious Institutions (non-denominational, all inclusive)
