The annual tradition of selecting a Partner Agency allows the Company to engage with the community and local nonprofits in meaningful and impactful ways. The benefits of this program extend beyond donations and in past years, Explorer employees have engaged in volunteer opportunities, gained understanding about community needs and disparities, and helped the organization continue its mission through advocacy.
Partner agencies must have 501(c)(3) status, be established before 2017 and focus on one of the following areas: health and human wellness, STEM and education, inclusion and diversity, or family and youth.
Interested agencies may submit applications online at expl.com/About/Community-Outreach. The application process closes on September 30, 2023. The selected Partner Agency will be contacted on or before October 30, 2023.
Explorer’s 2023 Partner Agency was Global Gardens. Global Gardens empowers students and families in low-income communities to become agents of change through hands-on science and peace education. Their mission is to help students create gardens through a holistic approach involving science, health, and environmental learning. This program challenges the community to become caring, forward-thinking and confident individuals.
Explorer has supported several nonprofit organizations throughout its history. The company primarily serves its local communities through involvement in the United Way and has created the Partner Agency Program to focus its giving strategy in the community.
